This month, my novel-in-progress reached a new level: final revision.
Woo-hoo,
this is cause for celebration. When a book hits final revision, it has
moved beyond an ongoing one-way conversation in the writer's head. By
now, the book is talking back--big time.
Only a few steps remain
before it's ready to send off to agent/editor/publisher. And these
final steps are key: If they go well, the "whole" becomes much bigger
than the sum of its islands, or parts.
Most writers feel a sense
of urgency at final revision. As the book comes into its own, you can
see the good objectively. You've been asking yourself, Is it publishable? for a while. Now you can answer with a hopeful YES!
