Novel
I've been worrying on and off for some time now about various elements of the novel - fears mostly focused on saying the wrong things; which could be interpreted in ways with adverse consequences. I reached a point today where I really think I'm not going to be able to publish it. The person who wrote it is not the me I am now, and I'm not sure I believe all I was trying to say any more. It's not a question of worrying whether it's any good in a literary way; whether it's well written or not. My lack of confidence is more in the content.
This is pretty horrible as I've spent the best part of three years working on this seriously, and curtailed the career I was in to write it :( It feels very much like a huge failure; and a waste of time
I do have other things I would like to do with my life besides write, and maybe now could be the time for them.
