I Don't Know Why That Took So Long

Have you ever thought to yourself "I'm really, really dumb"? Cause that's how I'm feeling right now.

I put up Monsters Never Die and, as requested by some in the comments, I wrote an epilogue that I had in mind. And then I thought it wasn't good enough.

So I did a little agonizing over it, and a little tiny editing, and then I all but abandoned it in GDocs folder for over a year. Just like the first chapter.

And now, coming back to re-read it after waaaaaay too long you know what I realized? I'm actually pretty happy with it.

One hour of reading and quick edits later and it's done. I get now that I was too close to it to actually see it; too close to know it didn't have to be perfect. I just had to take a step back (a stupidly long step in this case) and let it stand without letting myself get in the way. I can't pour gold from my fingertips, and I can't tell every intricacy of the world I've built. And I'm okay with that.

Maybe I'll learn my lessen and my 15k story that's been languishing for years will finally get published. Maybe.

Anyway. The Epilogue will be published Friday, assuming I don't sleep through it.
