Here’s Something You Don’t Think About Until It’s Done…

Listen, you guys. Keep this in mind, okay? You totally cannot UNDO sending your manuscript off for other people to read. I mean, I suppose you could follow up with a note saying, "Don't read that!" but that's probably discouraged, right?

Just wanted to warn you.

I agree that any family member I sent my work to would want to read it, even if I changed my mind and asked them not to, just because they seem so curious about my writing (since I've not let them read it before and my publication dates are forthcoming).

And thanks for commenting on my blog! You had good points about the query - thank you for contributing to the conversation!; September 9, 2011 at 6:57 PM
