ReplyDeleteIt took Jane Austen SIXTEEN YEARS to write "Pride and Prejudice" and it even had a title change.
I have read your book. I believe in it. It is worth all the blood, sweat, and tears you are pouring into it.
What's more important, you believe it, too, my wonderful friend. :-)
SIXTEEN YEARS!!! ACK...*pulling hair out*.
DeleteSeriously, thanks for the pep talk. You know how I love to exaggerate, just a tad....
