There’s a saying attributed to Pablo Picasso that a work of art is never finished, but only abandoned. Since I’ve written and re-written, and re-re-written my first novel, I can say I truly understand the expression now.

Just in case anyone is wondering how I’m spending my copious spare time; I am undertaking the third rewrite of my novel. I believe it’s getting substantially better each time, and I’ve got literally hundreds of edits I am doing right now, as well as some substantial alterations.
