I don’t know. I have done my best but there’s always that nagging little voice that says you can do more – though what more I can do, I don’t know.

Ack, I’m boring even myself with all this wibbling.

I didn’t want it to appear like it’s rushed or anything. Right. Tomorrow I do a last read through then that puppy is out the door.

If it’s done, I say send it 🙂

Good to know that if it ever gets published, it won’t just be me in the bookshop buying up copies of my own book. 🙂

Perhaps binding your fingers with duct tape?

It’s actually been at that word count for the past four months! I’m in the process of revising it, taking into account everything I’ve learned from revising the present one.
But yeah, I think I gotta send it soon. That way I can get on with the others.

When it’s gone (although I know it won’t be totally off your mind) I bet your other work will flow quicker. Saying that, though, Old Coot seems to be flying along!!
