You’ll know when you can read it from start to finish without wanting to add more ideas — just polish.
Some signs your draft is ready:
- Every chapter supports the main idea
- You’ve said what you set out to say
- Loose ends are tied or intentionally open
- The message feels complete
That doesn’t mean it’s perfect — it just means it’s ready for feedback or editing. Done doesn’t mean final. It means ready to evolve.
