I worked hard on it.
Of course I'm going to be published.
Well, and also I'm going to do a little twist on that.
And that's.
Telling the kids that like, all right, fifth draft, sometimes they do have this perfectionism where they're like, shit, it's not ready yet.
We're like, it's really good.
It's ready to let go of it.
We're going to put out this book.
Humble enough to know that somebody else's opinion that it's ready or it's okay or it's good enough.
So it's like, it's okay, we're going to publish this and we're going to put it in a nice paperback book.
It'll be read for decades.
It relieves that so many different things of a reluctant or hesitant kid or an English language learner.
It doesn't have to be 100% perfect, but we're going to work on it.
Draft after draft.
We're going to honor it and put it in this platform that other people will see it.
And then we're going to do something else.
It's not just the one chance, one bite out of the apple.
You can keep creating.
And again, I always say it's all practice until you're 30, especially in writing.
A reluctant writer, they always think that they're going to be judged in a biblical sense on their first draft.
