It was a long journey to the end of my novel but it was worth every minute.  Writing the last sentence was one of the most exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had.  There’s a tremendous sense of achievement and pride in having done something that most people dream about but fail to accomplish.

If you are currently writing a novel and have trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, don’t give up.  It took me 10 years to finish Bebokia.  Even if your book never sells one copy, it will always remain a part of your personal history.  Your children will read it, your grandchildren will read, and it will remain alive long after you’re gone.
