It can be hard to release our writing to the world.
Recently, I released my baby to an agent. Not one of my children, mind you. But my other baby.
My first novel.
The one crafted several years ago.
The one that was put on hold while homeschooling my five kids.
The one that was keeping me from moving forward.
The one I knew needed work, but wasn’t quite sure where to go with it.

Once I realized I couldn’t
do other projects until I knew whether to dig in or walk away, I understood I
needed feedback. I truly wanted honest feedback. Someone who knew nothing of my
story needed to read it. To tell me where the strengths and weaknesses were.
