It was a tough call to put it aside and start fresh, but it wound up being the best decision I could have made. You don't have to finish that novel or quit...but it might be time to quit working on that one and start fresh.

Wow--we were all impressed, even then!<br /><br />But even more impressive has been your determination to keep at it, when you could. Your tenacity paid off, and you deserve it! You did what it took to hang in there when many of us would have quit. You're an example for all of us.
