I dunno, Skelly. Sounds like you tortured yourself, pretty much. Sorry to hear that you had such a hellish experience.
If I were to write a novel "to sell", I doubt I would have gotten past the first two chapters. Instead I write what burns, and I still haven't lost interest and hope in my novel even though I've been stuck so many times on the monster I've become a laughing-stock. The novel is very bizarre. Who knows whether it will sell? I don't care. If I had to fret about that on top of everything, the joy of it would disappear - and why write then? There are many less torturous and more sure ways of making money.
Those are my 2c. Just because you are awesome I think you can succeed with "your" novel, not "their" novel. But then again, what do I know?
