But really, I am hating on myself hard. I sent out queries before I was ready. Of course I tthought I was ready. If only I hadfound this forum a few weeks earlier. I ended up getting a PR, but ruined my chances as my manuscript was in need of a redraft. Yes, I know it's hard for a writer to see problems in their own work. Yes, I know to put it away for a month and then edit.
So I guess I am posting this in search of empathy, but also to warn... make sure you have had another set of HONEST eyes go over your work. Apparently I know a bunch of cowards as nobody had the balls to tell me my book sucks as it stands. Thank goodness for this place, where I met a brilliant person that wasn't afraid to lay it on me.
