Writer's club.

What I thought was not the greatest when I read it myself, was interesting to other writers, mostly the characters.

What do you not like about it?

For me, by the time I finished it, many other people were writing along the same lines. I was ahead of the curve when I started and a late comer by the time I was done.

IF I go back into any of my writing, I think I will keep my characters but put them in different situations, things that will be more relatable to today's audience or tomorrow's.

AND.... a friend of mine self published.

HIS book WAS a piece of crap when looked at objectively, but because he's actually published, he's still ahead of me because I am letting fear hold me back.


((EDIT: By "help" I mean that I don't feel horrible about not getting published and when I retire, I fully intend to tackle this final career as a writer - when I have time to do so. So I have postponed but not given up on my dream. I can go about my daily life most days without feeling like a piece of crap or suicidal. Some days, it's bad. But I own it, talk to people I have made myself accountable and crawl out of the pit.))
