"Writing is work, but it's also a compulsion, and once you get your characters on paper, you can't abandon them. You have to respond to them." --Rosamunde Pilcher
When do you give up on a book? How do you know when your plot is not working, or your characters are just flat? That your current project is going nowhere? After the first chapter? The first 100 pages? Your first critique? When do you say enough is enough, lay down your pen and shove your masterpiece into a drawer never to see the light of day again? Or do you? Do you keep on keeping on regardless of that nagging feeling in your gut telling you this book your toiling over is unpublishable?
