So usually, most writers will do this process: First draft, do something else for a month so you can see your book with fresh eyes, [[structural & content edit, second draft] -- this pair of steps can be repeated many times!], copy edit, final draft, proofread; and then, start approaching publishers and agents. I hope that helps! Well, in general you want to get each stage of your book as ready as possible before moving on to the next stage.

I know that sounds funny but most authors say they will respond and never do. I am 169 pages in to my book now and can't wait to finish it so that you can read. (if you still do that) One more question for you and i promise not to bug you. Should you send your book for copy write before you have someone edit? As you can tell from the (bumb)which was suppose to be dumb in the earlier question I will need the edit. LOL Have a wonderful evening. O my goodness you actually responded to me.

The answer is yes, absolutely. Writing can be very scary sometimes, and there have definitely been times when fear stopped me dead. More usually of success, to be honest, rather than failure!

Almost a year ago he did a post on me and my website. Once or twice a week I check out his threads. A depressing thread, but your blog made me think you might want to experience more of art and interact with intelligent folk more. If interested, contact me and I can introduce you to some people with intelligence and drive in the arts. I have readers all over the world- from the UK to Canada to Japan to Tibet. If interested, contact me. I clicked on the name link for your blog at Ebert’s thread on loneliness. Almost a year ago he did a post on me and my website.
