Authors, please think back to your first finished novel and how you felt when you sent it out to editors/readers and got back criticism. Can you describe your feelings below a little? In detail? I need someone to understand that no, she’s not a shitty writer, and no, she didn’t waste time on this book, and yes, all authors feel like this. Hell, talk about the way you felt the last time you got those edits back and the pages were all red no matter which book it was for. Go for it. Then talk about how you moved through it, please? Thank you! (This message brought to you by Leta, the cruelest beta reader in the world. :P)
