I keep toying with the idea of making a serious effort at getting published, but I don't think I have the confidence for it. I finished my last novel several months ago, my friend read it and liked it (I don't have the money to hire a professional editor or anything, so it's the best I can do), and I kind of wrote out a basic query letter along with a synopsis and a longer summary, but I just feel too intimidated to go beyond that. I have very little confidence in my writing, so trying to put myself out there is a really daunting task.

I haven't done too much writing lately, either. I've been a bit too depressed to do much beyond a few very short (4-5~ pages) stories in almost a year now. I want to pick myself up out of that and to work on something longer again, but I haven't had much luck.

ah just do it. The longer you wait the more sacred it becomes

play a game called im not really gonna send my query out until I get 70 rejections and start working towards those nos

yoy can do it
