This question is something I have struggled with a few times — thanks for your thoughts on how to decide what to do.

You’re welcome, Andrea! Best of luck to you as you decide what to do with your own manuscripts.

Awesome article. Thanks for the thoughts! This makes me feel better about my many manuscripts lying around, all waiting for a home one day.

Glad you enjoyed it, APM! In an earlier live Q&A I watched, the author mentioned writing *17* manuscripts before she sold one. I near about fell over. We are certainly not alone in this. Good luck to you!

I love this topic, Jen. There were several times with past manuscripts that I held on by sheer stubbornness. Nice to know I’m not the only one who sometimes has to let it go…

There’s certainly comfort in knowing we’re not untalented (or any other negative word) for not getting it “right” the 1st time. I think we writers expect perfection the 1st time around (1st draft, 1st book, etc.) and it’s so, so important to acknowledge that this is a loooong process. 🙂
