I love the honesty and the humor of this, so many gems, like don't tell people too much detail and keep it a secret. I love a tip I got from my editor about is the novel secretly autobiographical. Even if it is she said it is like baking a cake some details are mixed in. Leave the person asking the question what details are tucked in there.
And I love Bird by bird. First revision is a superb start!!! and then it is the chiseling once the novel has had a time to incubate. Good luck!!
You wrote a book!!! Get those meaty printed pages in your hand! Also I’m dead at this line...”Other writers want to project their entire existence on this fact that you're writing a novel.”
