It&#8217;s only been two weeks and a day that the agent has had my full manuscript. It feel like a life time. I&#8217;ve been doubting myself lately. Maybe it&#8217;s not as good as I think. Maybe I can&#8217;t write. Maybe it&#8217;s all just crap and I&#8217;m a crap slinger.
When do you ever know your good? [...]]]></description>
