Don't know what my son, David, does now, but at the beginning of his publishing career, he shared his writings with friends in his writers' workshop and the entire family including his 3 young boys.<BR/> <BR/>Beverly ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561696252435644130.post-86126083044304375672008-07-03T15:03:00.000-05:002008-07-03T15:03:00.000-05:00Congrats Elaine on the completion of your manuscri...Congrats Elaine on the completion of your manuscript!

I am a painter, he is a filmmaker/storyteller/actor. I will, however, keep to myself my new ideas until I am ready for anyone to see them, including him. I need the space to create a new idea without anyone else's energy in it. Then, when I want feedback, and am ready to share, he is usually the first one I go to.Kris Cahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940677144487682227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561696252435644130.post-45500420462312231272008-07-02T09:03:00.000-05:002008-07-02T09:03:00.000-05:00Hello, Elaine!

My husband read my started-last-centruy-and-still-working-on-it (oy) novel, but gave up around page 250 because nothing was happening. That's when I found out he hasn't read anything longer than a magazine article in the past 25 years. No attention span. Ah, well. It didn't discourage me. Hang in there! <BR/>SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561696252435644130.post-74988644849083758642008-07-02T08:23:00.000-05:002008-07-02T08:23:00.000-05:00Thank you for including me in your blog message. ...Thank you for including me in your blog message. I am not a published author, but frequently I write small stories about my childhood, etc., and I have my daughter read them for me. She always tends to be very complimentary and really gives me a lot of praise. She, herself, is an aspiring author, but she has never asked me to read hers. I think your husband is probably going to be your worst critic; so, don't feel bad. EvelynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
