John, I love that sentence
You don't finish a novel, you just stop working on it. Most published writers I have talked to feel that way.
Might I ask what do you think of the upsurge in Print on Demand publishers? Is it just another form of vanity press trying to snatch the unsuspecting want-to-be-writer's money, or is there a place for such, for books that would not otherwise make it into print?
