You've finished all the steps in the revision of your story but you're still holding onto it? Why are you waiting? Maybe you want to find an agent. If so, you need to start looking up who might be taking new clients and what types of writers they represent. Finding an agent is difficult and you may make many attempts to reach one. Or have you decided to find a publisher. What you need to do now, if research the publishers. How many of them are accepting manuscripts from unagented authors/ How many of them publish the kind of stories you write? Then you need to decide who to send your novel to. Or do you want ot self-publish. This also takes some research. The best of the self-published stories have an editor to at least do the editing. They also have an artist to design the cover. Maybe you can do it all but you also need to find a way to produce the various kinds of books for downloads and look into how to achieve if you want to go to print or audio. So this takes research.
The other thing. You may be finished but you put it in a drawer and let it sit. Why? Here are some things to consider. Is this the only thing you're ever going to write or are there many stories popping into your head that want to be told? If this is so, sitting on the first book isn't helping. You may be rejected but you may not. This is the time to take a chance. If the book does poorly are you going to end your life? This is going a bit overboard. Having a second book in the works when the first one leaves your house makes seeing a no from an agent or a publisher as being not so drastic.
So, when you send out that book, have the next one in your head and start writing because you never know what will happen>
