I've been taking exactly the same journey except that mine's taken even longer - so long that I'm ashamed to type the number. We could have at least waved to each other along the way!<br />I've also done other stuff - some even got published, but this one particular novel has kept pulling me back to to one last, final, edit. The m/s has had several critiques with comments ranging from 'no' through 'maybe' to 'definitely' and everything inbetween but there's always been one last itch to scratch with it.<br />Anyway, like you, I've finally finished - at least for now!<br />Wishing you success.<br />LoisLoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272017790487246382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-60708890266551811412012-03-13T10:42:08.976+00:002012-03-13T10:42:08.976+00:00Whoop!

Your post is timely for me - I've just finished the book I've been working on alongside all my other writing for nearly 20 years - it's as good as it can be, I love it, I'm proud of it... but I haven't quite managed yet to brace myself for sending it out into the world.Jenny Alexanderhttp://jenalexanderbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-28707195852140870912012-03-12T17:15:33.012+00:002012-03-12T17:15:33.012+00:00Congratulations on being brave enough to let it go...Congratulations on being brave enough to let it go!
