let my brother and dad read it
3 years ago
I told myself I wouldn’t put my book out to family until it was agented, but I gave in recently because I felt I needed the feedback and it has been a good thing. Just knowing that someone is reading it had lit up my desire to get it out. I needed to be relit, because the rejections really were hard to take (I pitched it for a year but not aggressively). I can’t be that girl who writes a book and sticks it in a drawer. But it takes energy and passion to get to the end of this goal, and I’ve been spending my passion on other goals. But the further away from being finished with the novel I get (finished in 04), the lazier I’ve become about selling it. This loose thread isn’t properly reflecting who I am now.
