@bluebirch Trying to finish a novel about figure skating I've been working on for several years now.

It's the fourth complete rewrite. ๐Ÿ˜† This time, however, I'm dead set on finishing it. I've set myself a deadline by the end of autumn, and so far it looks like I might even make it. ๐Ÿ˜†

@SeventhMagpie Oh, that's great! My partner just submitted a novel she's been working on for the last five, six years or so. I'm so impressed. And hopefully some publisher will find it publishable.

@bluebirch That's great! People can finish their novels, and that means that I can do it, too! ๐Ÿ˜†

What is your partner's novel about?

@SeventhMagpie It's actually a bit difficult to explain. It's not a clear-cut genre. Fictional autobiography. Someone called it "magical realism". It's not always clear what's real and what's not. Among other things, it's about coming to terms with your previous selves.

I liked it A LOT and it actually had profound impact on me, how I think of myself and my recent wish to become an IFS therapist. So I really hope it gets published.

@bluebirch I hope so, too. Although I've heard that sometimes it can take several submissions to get a book published, and even some bestsellers had to go through this process repeatedly.

Anyway, I wish her patience. This book will see its publisher, I'm sure. :)
