I'm quickly learning that trying to get a novel to see the light of day is a mixed bag of emotions. Excitement that you are actually going down this road. Encouragement when beta readers come back having actual feelings towards the world and characters you've created, and discouragement when the form rejections begin coming in. It's not an easy thing, trying to get published. Worth it all in the end, I'm sure.
But it puts a whole new meaning behind the phrase "enjoy the journey, not the destination".
Just my thoughts for the evening. Be back soon!
