“Not dead yet!”
Thanks, guys-- I have to admit, I pretty much burst into tears as soon as I hit the final period on this one. There were times I seriously doubted I'd ever finish. Hell, there were times I thought this thing was going to kill me. (The way I feel right now, that last part is still up for debate.)
Whether it sells or not, I have no clue. The market for women's fiction, frankly, sucks. What's being bought is small-town Americana and generally, being bought from already established authors. Trying to break in right now is like banging your head against a brick wall.
So it may wind up being another one that gathers dust on the hard drive, but at least I finished.
