Best-selling writer Elizabeth Bear blogs about when to quit working your manuscript.
Quote:
"They're all broken. Every one of them. Every novel I've published, every novel I've sold, every novel I've ever read has something wrong with it. Every novel I've ever loved is irretrievably [****]ing broken, all right?
Broken in ways that can't be fixed. It doesn't matter.
And no matter what you do, there will be people who dislike your work.
That's okay. In fact, I would venture to say that you can't write a book that some people will love unless there are also other people who will hate it. Strong emotion is not raised for the bland, my darlings."
