I have and one particular thing stroke me while doing this.been editing my novel this morning.
Writing a novel is like running a marathon, because it takes time and you need a lot of endurance to finish a book, especially if you haven't wrote so many books.
But when you are finished you feel proud about yourself and what you have accomplished.
You can say that you rise one decimeter after finishing a novel or a marathon, although I haven't finished a marathon yet, but it comes I promise you :)
It is a fasinating journey to write a book I think and this book wont be my last!
I will tell when it is completely finished.
