 As to how you plan on extinguishing her from previous stories, I don't

Too many years ago I worked for six months on a typewriter, whacking out my 
first 100,000 word novel. Exhausted, I sat down and read it through. Final 
judgement: there was one redeeming feature of all this effort. I'd learned to 
type. 

The moral of the story is that at a million words, with the help of people 
like Bobbie Lieberman, you finally know how to write--and trash the first 
200,000. Whether what you write, once you know how to write, is worth 
reading--that's a whole nother story.
