I think that is the best way to explain working on a series like this. It becomes like a long-term relationship where all you can think about is that other person. For me, the other person just so happens to be this series.
My family has asked me if I am going to work on other things and I tell them yes, just not right now. It's not that I don't have other stories and ideas that I want to work on but this world needs me right now and I need it too. It is a selfishly co-dependent relationship but it's my selfish co-dependent relationship and I am tied to it in ways my family and my BETA readers can't see.
I constantly find myself writing with the inability to stop writing because I want to see what is going to happen next, I want another date. But I suppose this excitement is good because it makes me want to keep writing more and more and really, if that is my biggest problem at the end of the day I think I'm okay with that.
