I have never finished a first draft of a novel in my life!! I always gave up on an idea when it got stale or just sat there, not wanting to take off. I almost did that this time, but with the help of some post office retirees reading it, it kept me going. I also found the gem of the story which was putting a dead body in it. I am now tweaking it here and there and adding description. I would really like to see this book take off. I don't know if it will, but I refuse to self publish. Usually that means nobody else would publish it. My online novel class is going well and I'm learning alot! Hope to have it polished by winter!!!
