There’s a time in every project when you say, “Now this is done. Now this child is ready to go into the world. I could keep working, refining, improving, but the returns would be minimal. It is time to let go.”
I started drafting Pretenders of Kronau in November of 2006. I finished in December 2007. I revised, got feedback from my alpha readers, and revised again. I incorporated the last few changes today.
Are their probably still typos? Sure. Could I give it another scan? Yeah. But at 3 years and 2 months old, Pretenders is a toddler. It’s time to draft the query letter, write the synopsis, zip up his coat, and figure out where to send the little tyke.
Calling it. Time of completion 2:08 pm, Sunday, January 17, 2010.
