Congratulations!! :-) And - *never* show anything to family that you don't feel is ready. It's not a paper bag issue or anything, don't feel bad about it, it's just... not a good idea to do that while you're still close to the thing and feel strongly about it not being finished. They can wait, and buy it :-)
Thanks! It got me through a rough month, so I got even more attached to the story than I thought I would. I totally didn't expect to make 50,000 words with everything going on, but bad weather and X-Files marathons somehow gave me the chance to get there. Now I just need to get that middle filled in.
HAHA, I know, even though I started writing because I overheard my aunt and Nan discussing stories they were writing, I get self-conscious about running anything by them because in my mind they have better ideas and I still feel like I'm ten and reading the story where two of my characters got a little more than smoochy out loud in front of my grandfather. He wasn't a prude, but between that and the time I sang She Bop in front of his friends for his birthday, I can't believe he never checked me into a convent. :)
