There has never been a truer statement, except maybe "a book is never finished". I've always heard this and never really thought much about it. Publishing Ubiquity and The Underground has given these phrases meaning for me. No matter how many times I look at them and think I have it all like I want it, I will always go back and find something I think needs to be changed.
I held onto Ubiquity and only shared it with my immediate family for seven years. When I finally published it, I wanted to take it all back within a week. Even though I have had people encouraging me and some who have read it and truly enjoyed it, I keep finding things I think need to be changed. It'll never be perfect in my mind.
When I published The Underground, I made a commitment not to look for all the flaws. In the past few months I've come to realize that need for perfection is stealing away joy I could be experiencing during this process. As a result, I've taken it upon myself to connect with other authors through social media, blogs, and twitter and have found that we're all flawed at times and that's part of the beauty of it.
