    I do think writing novels must be so hard, I do think you novelists are brave.

    Colin,

    Don’t worry about trying not to offend. When I get offended I do it BIG STYLE! You don’t stand a chance…

    How much support and positive comments do you need before you have the confidence in your work to send it off?

    Is there some recognised quota? Has someone set a restriction on the amount of feedback we can request? Are we all aware of this? Do we know when to stop giving feedback to a writer because they’ve already had their quota? Is someone monitoring this?


    And saying that you can't appreciate a novel by a glimpse at a few chapters and a synopsis might be true(ish) but that's the boat we're all in.

    Are you saying we should stay in it?


    In my last two attempts at novels I was convinced that if someone was to read the whole thing and "get it" then I'd be published in a flash. I was convinced because I was sure the plot was that good.

    The problem is that they never get it.

    Colin, you know I love you, don’t you? But sometimes you stretch our relationship to the limits. I really don’t know if I want to have your babies any more. But I still love you despite everything… I still think we can discuss this… I’ll be round with the Thoughtform template at the weekend…

    Becca, when did I say you never read my work? Tell me, because I'm seriously concerned at the amount of my brain cells that I seem to have lost recently and after Saturday night, I've given up drinking, until the next time.

    Hi Julie,
    I misread what you said, you said I did rather than didn't.
    Cheers. Becca.
