And having the access to it once it's published is a relief at times.<br /><br />Rosemary -- Just trying to produce a quality product.<br /><br />Bridget -- From your lips to God's ears. I don't think I'm driven, I think it's more like anal. lolAnne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299643638346680038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647897906477408775.post-84160242836030296372013-03-25T10:57:52.879-04:002013-03-25T10:57:52.879-04:00I'm awed at how driven you are to put out your...I'm awed at how driven you are to put out your best possible product.

As you say, at least you have the power to make changes, not like a book stuck in print.<br /><br />Thanks for the insight into self-pub :)Charlotte Brentwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241042192422436027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647897906477408775.post-41178109117007907662013-03-24T14:36:59.370-04:002013-03-24T14:36:59.370-04:00Unfortunately, every book I revised this time was ...Unfortunately, every book I revised this time was the *cough* final finished product. I'd already done 10 revisions (after 10 drafts) and these were supposed to be the last of the last of the last of them. <br /><br />They've all been unpublished and republished 3 other times. But this time is the LAST time. No more. I even went so far as to say that in my product description. <br /><br />I have other things I need to be working on, and so, this is it.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647897906477408775.post-27807527381828684872013-03-24T12:01:51.294-04:002013-03-24T12:01:51.294-04:00You're better than some authors who never fix ...You're better than some authors who never fix the problems. Kudos to you, Anne. <br /><br />It does get to be 'been here, done that' after multiple revisions, but the result is worth it. First drafts are first drafts - and they need loving care. In retrospect I can see what I left out the first time in the draft (beta readers help with that too).<br />D.G. Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213237734772028645noreply@blogger.com
