I am now officially Taking It On Faith that this book is a good book and will not disappoint its audience. Because I can't tell anymore. I'm too close to it, and I've lived with it for too long. I know I've done my best, and am continuing to do my best, but that's absolutely all the perspective I can scrape together.

And I'm tired.

That's actually the right attitude. Suggests that you are out the other side and no longer enamoured...

Let your readers decide the rest.

*I* have faith that it is a good book. I have massive, eager-to-read-it, going-to-buy-in-hardcover faith. So there.

Now, are these numbers from your writing Virtu or revising it? Cuz you're throwing out some darn impressive numbers for the frequency of your updates. And that's not discouraging. I feel quite the opposite. :-)

This is the last revision pass before delivering the damned book to my editor.

You will get there. If nothing else, your editor may rip it out of your hands.

And your adoring public is waiting for it with bated breath. (Or baited breath, if they like anchovies.)

Trust your beta readers - matociquala is saying good things about it, at least to the rest of the world.

Have a picture of a big friendly dog. (This is Nick, one of the dogs my parents had when we were in college.)
