Are you ever worried you'll never finish?

I've been working on my novel for quite a while now. Sometimes I don't do any work on it for weeks. I'm at the editing stage so I know I'll finish it but just wondered if anyon else ever feels like they'll never get there?

All the time :D

You know, i never care about the end. I believe that if you have enjoyed the journey, then the end will be pleasant. Great to know you are at the editing stage. I am too, but feel it terribly stretching.

I haven't even gotten to the editing stage yet!! Occationally I ask my friends for advice and stuff, but I've only one completed book so far!

I guess what matters is, we mustn't give up, even if it seems to take forever
