How do you know when your book is done?

That’s the question all of us writers ask, not just my clients. In fact, I brought this post back because I’ve fielded this question twice this week, and it’s only Monday.

And there’s a short and sweet answer–when you’ve done everything you can do, everything you can think of to improve the piece.

And there’s a longer answer, which is what this video is all about.

If you know yourself to be a get er’ done sort of person, listen up. If you’re a perfectionist who can drag the process out for eons in the interest of hiding in the shadows, this is for you too.

(BTW, I would so retitle this video to How do you know… but that’s what happens when you’re working fast to get something out the door. A word to the wise.)

Check out my book

Straight-talking, funny and brutally honest, How To Eat The Elephant will give you–yes, you–the push you need to haul your ass off the sofa and position it in front of your computer long enough to produce a real, live book.
