🚸 Am I talking about sending your kid on a school residential?
📚 Or might this be an analogy…?
- Kit list? Checked and packed.
- Delivery to handover point? Done and on time.
- Are you handing them over to a total random? No! That would be irresponsible.
- Slightly nervous about how it’ll go? Naturally.
- Do you think they can handle it? Of course!
- Will you be thinking about how they’re getting on while they’re away? Certainly.
- Do you hope they’re being well looked after? Absolutely.
- Will their little holiday also be a welcome break for you? YES!! 🎉
And when they get back…?
- Are you looking forward to hearing how it went? Can’t wait!
This analogy can run much further. But I reckon that’ll do. 😃
Handing over your manuscript to an editor might be like sending your kid on their school residential.
Be brave. It could be the making of them!
