“The world needs our stories”
“The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” -William Faulkner
The amount of work it takes to write a full length novel is unknown to people who have never written one. And truth be told, I don’t think readers care about how much work you do. It only matters that the story was good.
The right reader will find your book and feel like it’s exactly what they needed. This life is hard and books lighten the load. They give us brief moments away from it all. Believe that you’re doing a service by sharing your art with the world. Believe it or not the world needs our stories. Our stories carry an infinite amount of information that can’t be calculated because the stories are a little different from each person who reads them.
So yes, your novel is hard work, but it is so worth the effort.

I greatly admire novel writers, no matter how green or successful they perceive themselves. Persistence of vision and execution is everything. Just don’t execute yourself in the process. And a sense of humor is absolutely essential!
