Quick question for the authors here, especially those in the middle of it right now.
Do you ever reach a point where you’ve done the writing, the revising, the editing… and still feel unsure if the book is actually ready? Not technically, but emotionally. Like you’ve stared at it so long you can’t tell what’s missing anymore. I’d love to hear how you handle that stage, what helps you move forward when you’re too close to your own work?
Editing Question
Are there any non-fiction writers in the group? Do any of you do your own editing such as a computer program prior or after having someone else proofread?

I usually run my manuscript through editing software first to catch the obvious issues and tighten things up, then I have a human proofreader do a final pass. The tools help, but a real set of eyes always catches what software misses.
