I'm a little drunk and need to get this out so:
I kinda regret writing/publishing my book.
It's destroyed one friendship because she (inaccurately) thinks the romantic interest is her boyfriend and the protagonist is me. I spent hundreds on cover art that's really good but totally wrong from a marketing perspective. And I can't get myself to write again, so claiming I'm a writer feels more and more dishonest even if I did once do the thing.
Blarg.
@hupfen I'm a little stoned, but if your friend is willing to cut you out of their life over something like that... they weren't a friend worth having.
You and your work and aspirations are worthwhile. It's okay to be frustrated with this -- what you're going through is hard! But don't blame yourself for the failings of your friend. ♥️
