Dear Neil, I think I’ve made a mistake. The thing is: I sent my manuscript to a small publishing house, that I really like (who have published my short story already). It was fine, they gave me feedback and said after that has been applied, they might like to publish my novel (no confirmation yet!). But it’s my first novel ever. I’ve written/edited like 5-6 years. Maybe I should’ve let go long ago. The first novel isn’t supposed to be published, right? It might have been a bad idea… Thoughts?

neil-gaiman:

Either they will want to publish it, or they won’t. If they do, you didn’t make a mistake. If they don’t, then they’ll tell you, and you’ll be wiser than you were before, and that won’t have been a mistake either.
