#Writers know this feeling of success.

I sent along my cleaned-up novel manuscript to a dear supporter who surprised me with a very kind donation, and she's reading it with such joy that she's dropped the published book she was given for Christmas.

Obviously, it would be very nice for my agent to like my novel, and take it to presses that bid wildly over it, and maybe finally have a chance of getting myself unstuck, but...

You cannot put a price tag on one reader's joy. 💛 Readers are a gift.
