Oh I really do like this post, especially the bit about demonstrating your commitment to make any book work....I consider chucking it in about every other day, but I do also want to meet the challenge I've set myself. Thanks for the reminder...
Oh, Libby - it absolutely can't be said often enough that ALL writers feel that way about their books so often it's not even funny. It's just par for the course to hate what you're writing a good chunk of the time. Writing a book isn't easy and it isn't fun.
"A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."

"The only thing harder than writing is not writing." --- Every writer ever.

But HAVING a book - there's nothing like it.
So true it hurts. My dirty number is 5.
Dajana, you're not alone, and brava for calling yourself out! Now which one of those five are you going to commit to and finish? :)
