Change is hard!

I've probably read my first book at least a hundred times if not more. I wrote this story for a purpose-but that purpose has suddenly been clouded by recent negative input. I wish I had the magical power to just fix all the issues that are stated-but I don't. Instead I have to go through each sentence, each paragraph and pick it apart in hopes that I can find what is wrong. If I could afford an editor, or a proof reader, it would be easier-but sadly I can't. So it's my responsibility with the advice of my peers to do just that. Pick apart every word-until it's "perfectly" correct-and what's left? Well, I hope a book that's worth reading. I guess those readers will decide, but I'm not going to have that BAD review like a beacon on 5 years of work-saying- "DON'T READ!" I've invested my heart and soul into this-and my dream is to continue to write. Granted, less emotionally invested books, but still QUALITY work. Well, I guess I've played enough. I have 4,000 words to write yet tonight so I best get back to it.
