![]() Writing, re-writing, editing, re-writing. It was all about me habitually doing what I’d been doing for the past six years. But I don’t think changing “We’ll talk tomorrow” to “We’ll talk more tomorrow” at the last minute made one whit of difference in its quality. Of course, I wanted to produce the best book I possibly could. I lived and breathed this novel for so long that I’d begun to feel as though I could spend the rest of my life filling in details that are better filled in by the reader’s imagination as she turns the pages. I had such an enormously hard time breaking up with my novel, Thieving Forest, that I made changes up to the last very last minute, when it was already formatted for print and ebook. Or perhaps you simply have a publisher’s deadline that is -guess what?!-today. There may be any number of reasons why you want to break up. For better or worse the novel you’ve written will come to term, and it will have to live (or not live) on its own, away from you. ![]() ![]() To begin with, let me clarify: I don’t mean abandon your novel I mean separate yourself from it. ![]()
