The End.
Ahh… how satisfying; how fulfilling; how triumphant! I’ve just finished my book. This isn’t a theoretical scenario – my name is Bennett R. Coles and I just recently finished writing my latest novel Casualties of War. Or, to be more specific, I just finished getting the whole story down on the page. And this is what I want to talk about today. It’s a very common error that first-time authors make: thinking you’ve finished your book when in fact what you’ve done is finish the first draft.

Congrats Ben! May your currently well-deserved satisfaction sustain you during the tedious re-write(s), editing, proofing, and marketing phases!! I look forward to obtaining my own copy. H.

Your comments ring true, Bennett. I, for one, am definitely NOT the literary version of Mozart and editing is essential.
You mean there's more after a first draft? Smiling.Good for you Ben
