I'm an author of moderate success. I have a publisher, and some of my books are in multiple languages. But nobody I know has ever read any of them, and that saddens me no end. But I can't bring it up ...
@nprofile1q...
Not a published author, but I feel this. I can't even get family to read an opening chapter of my draft.
My brother-in-law read three pages and asked "why don't you use AI for feedback?" So I requested he return what he had. My sister still has it though, as she asked to take a look at that point, over a year ago.
My brother told me he would do one editing pass once when I feel it's finished, so I'm going to try to hold him to that, but it feels like an empty promise.
