No, I know. I didn't mean to imply that you thought everything was diamonds.

I just think...I don't want you to be impatient with this. I don't want you to shoot yourself in the foot before you've even really gotten started.

Like Sherwood said about you just starting out on your serious writing: there's still a lot of time and a lot of room. There's no need for things to happen *now*. You just need to write.

Your books will be shared. Others will read them. You write wonderful stories. But give them time.
