You’re pouring over your original novel for the tenth
time. You love it! Your mother loves it! Your friends ALL love it! But no one
in the literary world wants it.
How long do you continue to spend time writing, editing,
rewriting, and sweating blood over it?
When is it time to say enough and put it away forever?
There are hours, days, months of work it that baby. Can
you let it go?
Is it even relevant anymore?
Sometimes there is a difference between a work we are
truly called to write, and a work that we want
to write. Do we understand that difference?
Maybe you simply wrote it for a chance to learn something in
the writing process. Maybe to encourage yourself to keep writing. Maybe just
because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
When is it time to say enough?
