I've also had a couple of friends call to reassure me that everything is fine and that the book looks good for this stage.<BR/><BR/>I'm in no danger of throwing myself off a roof, I swear. I was just having a moment of clarity...the realization that this is going to be a lot more work than I thought.<BR/><BR/>But I'm fine, I swear. One friend in particular kicked me in the head a few times, and now I'm fine.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-2573609106116256062008-06-08T13:19:00.000-04:002008-06-08T13:19:00.000-04:00Only people who really care about you (or about wr...Only people who really care about you (or about writing in general) will criticise your writing.
