Thanks for sharing your experience, I've been working on a novel and big head nods to "Most of all, I didn’t know how freaking long it would take." I appreciate your advice around waiting to bring in outside voices. Your story sounds beautiful, I'm wishing you times with the pages and cheering you on!
Thanks so much, Heather! It’s so cool that you’re writing a novel, and nice to know that I’m not alone in the trenches. Wishing you many productive writing sessions. We got this!
I would love to read a memoir about working for the peace corp and teaching English and living in Ecuador! Keep writing.
My novel has taken me a long time too. Life sent me a bunch of major hurdles, and I made my own mental ones as well. I've sent my book out to around ten agents and then just stopped. I think about abandoning it altogether, but then I think about all that I have put into it. Time and money and heart.
Let's not give up. Your essay inspired me to keep going. Thank you.
Thanks so much! It’s awesome that you’ve sent your book out! Getting to that stage is a huge achievement and I hope you keep going, too. Thanks for the encouragement.
