Writing is finished: The true story of Alan Scott ✍️

«Two years ago it was little more than a breath — a fragile idea. I had a handful of opening chapters, but the story’s pulse was missing. Then, one ordinary day, the right intuition arrived and the pieces locked into place. That’s how The True Story of Alan Scott began: a novel that insisted on being told.

The past six months have been an intense journey, lived word by word, night after night. Today I set down the final full stop: the writing is done.

And yet the road doesn’t end here. Now comes the hardest, most delicate stage — the edit: the patient craft that turns a manuscript into a novel. It’s a season of care, of cuts and discoveries, of re-reads that coax new shades to the surface.

Writing is always both a farewell and a beginning. As I close this chapter, a new idea is already taking root. But today I’m allowing myself a moment to celebrate: the end of the writing — and the start of another journey.»
