It may eventually go near a publisher, but it wasn't written with that in mind. By which I mean; I want to get published, but I never thought my first book would be a winner.
This was based on comments from published authors of which the most quoted is "You need to write about a million words before you become publishable". OK, I'm sure that the million is a rough estimate which includes various short stories and other writing projects (my horribly cliched Clans stuff for example), but certainly Mourn's Gift improved as it went on (I re-wrote the beginning and the start required much more editing in general). My second book (for which the working title is Replay) opens much more smoothly.
