I want to publish my novel
Struggling with Inertia 4 years ago

I’ve been writing fiction for twenty years - long novels that I enjoy immensely - but I can never quite get my brain around trying to market my books. Everytime I make a goal toward actually publishing, I get overwhelmed by the “odds” against me, or I become obsessed with rewriting and perfecting what I already have, or otherwise find ways to derail and self-sabotage. Hmm, do I sound neurotic enough yet? Believe it or not, I do have a lot in my favor. I write for a living, so I’m a proven writer. I’m not sure what’s holding me back. Any ideas?

Wow...

I know you wrote this nearly a year ago, but I have a bit of advice. Just give in and send it. Don’t worry about perfecting it anymore. JUST DO IT. You don’t want to be sitting here twenty more years from now lamenting about how you should have done it.
