I've spent most of the evening editing my novel.
I'm not sure why the word "novel" bugs me so much. But it does.
I've made some good progress. At least 100 pages, I think. Though I'm not cutting very much out at all, and that concerns me a bit. It's much too long.
The story is probably flawed. But I'm of the mind right now that it'd be too much work to fix it, and that my time would be better spent on the next one.
I'm thinking about it, and a lot of my other work, and I'm wondering if I want to even bother going through the hassle of trying to get any of it published. I'm tempted to just self-publish them, so that I can call them "finished" and have a final sort of thing to hold in my hands, and can then go on to the next project.
There doesn't seem much point in putting all that work into trying to find a home for so many pieces. But I suppose the big thing now would be to get my name out there, and not any sort of compensation.
I'm also tired of having goals and things I want to do and never doing them.
