Well done and congratulations!

How did you manage to keep the balance between what you wanted to write and a commercially viable draft?

Honestly, I don't think I have the answer to that. For me, it was a question of writing what I and my friends might like to read. If you can think of at least a handful of people in addition to you who would like to read or at least need your story, that's going in the right direction!
