not really finished...the moment of handing a manuscript in to the publisher is always weird. there's a mix of worry that they won't like it, huge relief at having finished it, doubt about how it could have been done better (one more draft?), and a niggling awareness that it's not really actually "done"; there is a lot more to do, little technical things and edit reviews and image permissions...until the book is in one's hand it's not done, and not even then because then one must - wants to - promote it so people actually read it. last night I saw my first book on the shelf of a bookshop and I was like, oh, there you are. Two years ago that was "done" too...
