Ever since I was introduced to YWS, I feel that I have evolved so much in my writing! It has been a huge help, and I appreciate it so much!But now I am facing a problem of some sort...
I have a novel that I have been working on for nearly two years - it's very dear to me, and I've worked hard on it. Of course, one day, I'd love to see it published.
But, see, my novel has got to slim down. Too many scenarios, too many unnecessary characters and plot twists… all in all, this is exactly the point where I'd turn to YWS, yelling, "Save me!"
As said, this novel is so very precious: I get nervous thinking about it being online… where someone could "steal" it, or misuse it somehow – what can be done about that? I also want it to be published. Would publishers not want to publish it, after it was online? Would that diminish it value?
What are the answers, or at the very least, what keeps all of you calm about posting all your stuff?
