So true Brad… I’ve just sent my daughter the first 11 chapters of my first novel to read…. I’m thinking – “will she like it; will she lie that she likes it; can I really write; aghhhhhh and on and on….
So yes, I agree with Hemingway….
Signed: Trying to stay optimistic – first time novel writer me…!
11 Chapters?! You’re Ahead Of Me There. I’m Still Struggling Along With Chapter 3. BUT, At Least We’re Making A Go Of It, Ms. Carolyn. Some Folks Can’t Even Decide On Word #1. So I’d Say We’re Doin’ Alright. Just Don’t Be Scared Of Any Criticism, Though I Know That’s Impossible hehehe Cheers To The First 11 Chapters, And Many More To Come!
Thanks Brad. My partner K has just read Chapter 1 (that was all I was willing to show him) and he said it was okay…. that for him is a great compliment… haha… The daughter said it needed a bit more ‘filling out’, which I’ve taken on board and am willing to start padding when the inspiration takes hold…. Thanks for the encouragement; and the same to you. You’ll have to let me know when it’s ready for reading… I’d be happy to help, where I can…
I’m A Cautious Optimist hehehe
Hope For The Very Best, But Generally Expect The Very Worst.
That Way, I’m Either Very HAPPY, or I’m VERY CORRECT.
Either Way, It’s Fine With Me
