I’m doing the last read-through of the novel before I send it off to the editor.<\/p>\n

This is a little nerve-wracking. I’m at the stage where I’ve read it so many times it’s starting to sound like crap. I’m forcing myself to keep going and look for the continuity errors I’m supposed to be checking for, but it’s hard to keep from trying to rewrite – or even to start the whole damn thing over again!<\/p>\n

How do you keep from tossing the manuscript into the trash when you get to this point?<\/p>\n
