"Am I even good enough to write this story?" I feel that. I think it's the main reason we as creators go towards other projects. We tell ourselves we'll learn, we'll grow, we'll get "good enough" to start, to continue, to finish our prized story. We have to make a decision at some point to just do it. But ah, to be at the end of a series is so hard. You're excited, relieved, doubtful, and hurting, all at the same time. It's a bittersweet experience, but definitely celebrate it! 🎉

Really interesting to know the little tweaks you made to your manuscript
