If there is one lesson that writing a novel has taught me (and continues to teach me), it's that if you think you're finished with your manuscript, you're probably not. In my case, I've decided to entirely rewrite the first couple of chapters before I submit it again. I think a book is never truly finished. Even after it's printed, bound, and sitting on bookstore shelves, the author probably sees something he wishes he could go back and change. It's hard to know when to quit, because there is always something that can be done to make it better. In my book's case, it can be a lot better. And I so wanted to be done with it.

But on the bright side, I did write last night. Go me.
