Heh heh, I sure know about that ‘sitting at XXXXXX words’ thing. Shucks, I’ve written seven novels and two non-fictions, and only two or three are ‘finished’. As someone once said, ‘Eventually you have to let them go’ ...
” Eventually you have to let them go ...”
I’ve finished every one I’ve started; ten so far. Five are currently on Amazon.com. One I finished in a motel on Tennessee street with my bed backed up against a wall I shared with a hooker. (Man, what a performance she gave, and five times a night on Friday and Saturday night. I average 1500 words a day.)
