Can I ask you the biggest favor in the world?
What is it?
Would you read it?
Your novel?
Yeah, i-it's like 400 pages long, a-and I'm just looking, just for, you know, just an opinion.
My opinion is I hate it.
You haven't even read it.
If it's bad, I'll hate it because I hate bad writing. If it's good, I'll be envious and hate it all the more. You don't want the opinion of another writer.
