When Do You Stop Rewriting and Just Publish The Book?

Yea!  Yea!  Yea! IS IN EDITING MODE!!!! I have wrote this story, rewrote this story.  Started an entire rewrite of this story.  It has been over 2 years, I have wrote and rewrote this story. I have been working on this for the past month.  Then yesterday, I said enough.  I am done.  I can not move forward with any other story, until I publish this story.  It is like I am stuck and keep rewriting and rewriting and rewriting as if I am on a tread mill.  I want to get off the tread mill. I printed out a hard copy of the story and will start editing this story and then send it off to the editor, so I can move on to Book 2 of the series. So I am exciting.  Even if the story is not perfect, once I go through it, I am going to send it to the editor, because I know that I will have to make some corrections. It is time to move on to the next book. How many times do you rewrite your books?????

In the post on 3/14/19 Write An E-Book In A Week, I talked about writing a short non-fiction book.  I have been working on that book since then.  I would get up and work on it first thing for 3-4 hours in the morning, before I did anything else. I thought it was going to be a short e-book. I added more content.   I have about 50 pages and around 10,000 words.  It is finished and am sending it to my editor.  It was easy to write, since the entire content was in my head, I just had to sit down and write.  That is the key to writing and publishing, even though you probably have heard that a thousand times.  I know I have.  I went to writer's conferences and they would say, "Sit your butt in the chair...

Opening Scene

I have rewritten the opening scene about 8 times.  I finally found the opening scene and it made sense.  I now know that I can move forward.  I felt like I was stuck and was never going to be able to move forward. The point is that I didn't give up.  I kept rewriting till I found the scene.  I know that I am going to have to rewrite the book after the first draft is written.  So I am very excited.

I Hate Editting

I am back on my evening work schedule starting today.  I now can write during the day before I go to work. I got up and have already put 2 hours writing time.  I went through the non-fiction book DIY Writing Career Zombie Style. I now know what I need to rewrite and what to edit.  My goal is to have this published January 2016.  It will take time to edit.  I hate editing.  It is time consuming and not fun for me.  It has to be done. When I first started out, I didn't have an editor.  I could not find one that I could afford.  I read and reread the story and used my spell checker.  I now found an editor I can afford. I am all about being debt free.  I don't think anyone should go into debt to be published.  So do what you think is best for you. I went through the manuscript and made notes.  I know soon I will be sitting at the computer going word for word and line for line before I send it to the editor. I hate ...
