For a long time I've locked away a scene in my head that was to be a vital turning point in the last Snowtear Wars book. I finally have written it, and the feeling of release is sweet. Getting each word right to bring it to fruition was a relief. I imagine many great artists and writers of the past and present have also felt this. I still have a few more locked away scenes to write, though, that are in the last part of the book and surely will bring the same feeling once I finish them.  It's like watching a birth in progress. I've reached a point in the book where the final stage is being set. The beginning of the end has begun!
