I finally published my first book and I’m not sure how to feel about it

After a long time lurking here, I finally published my first book.

It’s called Quinten Hollow: Celestial Bonds, and finishing it honestly took way longer than I expected. Not because of the writing itself, but because of everything around it, rewrites, second-guessing, scrapping ideas, starting over, etc.

One thing that surprised me: the hardest part wasn’t coming up with the story, it was deciding when to stop changing it. There’s always another tweak, another improvement you could make.

At some point I just had to accept: “this is the best version I can make right now.”

Curious how others here handled that moment!

How do you decide a project is actually done?
