I’m putting the finishing touches on Visionaries, Book 5 in my Mud, Rocks, and Trees Series, and I’m wondering how other authors go about finalizing their books.  I actually finished writing this novel before I published Refugees, Book 1, back in April of 2017.  But I’m always thinking of new ways to tie everything together and jotting those ideas down on scraps of paper.  I have been keeping a running list of things I want to be sure to include in Books 5 and 6.

Now I know many people will say that they just listen to their beta readers and editors, and I definitely listen to the feedback.  But in the end it is my name that goes on the cover, and so I have to be happy with it!  I’m hoping to finish Book 5 tonight, but realistically I know that in the morning I’ll wake up with “just one more thing” I need to change to make it just a little better!  For all those other authors out there, how do you decide when it is truly done?  I’d love to hear from you!
