This novel is really terrible. I don't even have anyone to read a portion of it and provide feedback. I'll have to figure that out in the future. I'll finish the first draft, then one round of rewrites, then try and track down someone who might be willing to read at least part of it and provide criticism. I'm really trying with this one to write the best novel I know how. But it's still probably not going to turn out good enough to be published. Still, I have to cling to the delusional fantasy that it will not only be published but also will become a bestseller. Otherwise, I have no hope for the future.
