Hey, I have read that the stages of noveling are:

My Novel
My Great New Novel
My Interesting Novel
My Time-Consuming Novel
That Darn Thing
That Piece of Crap

and finally....
My Award-Winning Finished Novel, and Don't You Knock It.

I think I bypassed the "great new" and "interesting" stages. Now I'm somewhere between "That Darn Thing" and "That Piece of Crap"...
