I wasn't rushing to publish, but I didn't get it right. I've since had a beta reader, and gone through it and changed the cover, and it's now an eBook. I enjoyed a small success with it, people telling me that they loved it. That's all that mattered in my world at the time. Now, I have to try and be patient.

My editor would preface every discussion with my agent with, "I know Norma's impatient, but...." <br /><br />To borrow from Larry the Cable Guy, I just wanted to "git 'er done." But then, I could just hand my stuff off to my editors with a note reading, "Just tell me what's wrong with it." Now, I have to more take responsibility, even though I also have a good editor for my self-pubbed books.<br /><br />Bottom line: now it's all about the quality. No matter how long it takes.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685538277690762655noreply@blogger.com
