*Finish the project! Don't keep rewriting chapter one. I love NaNoWriMo (http://nanowrimo.org) and I would encourage you to join up in November when it starts.
*Secondly, go back through your work at least three or four times.
*Third, get a few people you know who are readers and will give you HONEST feedback. If they tell you it's good with nothing else, you picked the wrong people. :-)
*Forth, another rewrite.
And while all this is going on, start building a platform. Whether it's short story contests or blogging. Social networking is essential for new writers.
