I just finished my last chapter on my second book and yes I think depression or at least a sense of sadness is normal when you finally call a project done. I still have one more book to write before my story is finished but I still feel the let down and a bit lost after each of the books are finished.
If you don't have a larger project in the works short stories would be one way to go. Do some free writes and maybe you will spark an archive that will turn into another rewarding long project.
Good luck on your writing.

Take care and may your road lead to only good places.

Compassion and the effort to try and understand some thing that was not understood before is a step toward acceptance not only of others but most importantly of yourself.
Why do I write? I write for many reasons, but at the top of the list, I write to understand something I didn't know about before I wrote it.
