They always think that they should make some changes or when they feel like they can't work on it any more, they move onto the next and look back on it later on down the road and make changes then. This is when others say that they love it and feel that your finished.

Yes, we do deserve pats on our backs for a fine job done but there is always more to be done, right? Well, I think so.<br /><br />As for books like potato chips. Empty calories? I love empty calories. LOL! I can admit it. But mostly I know the key elements in which I like to read. If reading the blurb and reviews I dont see the main key elements I will not read it- cookie cutter read or not. The writing industry is so vast that finding titles in which titillate each and everyone's fancy is possible. <br /><br /><br /><br />Also, I think you're on to something with trunking great novels. Everything seems to be worth more after death then before. Then it become a legacy! The only problem is the writer would reap no reward but at least his children would.<br /><br />Again, I loved this post.
