I had a dream of an epic book premise. I woke up and forgot it. After cursing myself for 20 minutes, trying to remember… I finally did it. It was about a dog who wanted to be human… 🤷🏻‍♀️ Woof.

I'm sorry, but if you are not getting kind, helpful feedback on your work, that's not normal. A lot of writers can end up getting painful feedback from betas or whoever and think that's the norm. It's not. Find a new beta, etc. bc you can improve without being cut down/ destroyed

if you are an agent/editor/beta/critique partner/reader, please, tell your writer when you like something sometimes highlighting what is working is as beneficial as explaining what is not

My wise and wonderful CP just wrote in our chat: “The fact of feeling that whatever we do or accomplish is never enough doesn't make it actually not enough.” I should probably get that embroidered.
