Ah, the writing cycle starts again! Writing and publishing a novel is a true test of conviction and patience. This past week I found my conviction both tested and rewarded. Read on to see what happened.

Reaching the end of a novel includes factoring in what Editors, Beta Readers and others have said about the story you are telling. I'm now reaching the final steps of my fifth rewrite; what's next?
