I don't know if I'm just being careful or if I'm merely worried about sending out queries, but I'm still editing my book. I really like my book, but I always really like my books, even the one that will never, ever be shown in public. I may be humiliated about how bad it is, but I can't bring myself to hit delete.
But that's beside the point. I need to be concerned about the book I'm currently working on. I really want it to be good, but as several previous attempts have shown me, I am not a good judge of my own work. About others, I can't say other than I'm objective.
Eventually, I will get to the point where I realize I really am just stalling. Until then, I have plenty to do. And self: don't go dragging it out!
Everyone else: good luck with your own trials.
How long have you been editing? I've been editing my novel since January LOL and I'm still not happy with it! I've given myself until NaNoWriMo as a deadline, but the last 5 deadlines got blown out of the water.
ReplyDeleteStill, I think its better to be confident in your work than query too early!
