I've had various novels and similar things "nearly finished" for the last 15 years or something. I always have a crisis of confidence about 9/10 of the way through.
Meanwhile, Mani's going back to do post-production on his third movie. I'm getting left behind.
ouch! that's gotta hurt. but as i said only recently, you have *momentous pause* the gift! use it well (and be careful you don't unearth any terrifying secrets)
Are you going to write a novel then?
