#WritersCoffeeClub 2/2: Do you agree with Picoult--you should finish writing a book even if it's garbage?
Absolutely, yes. Few reasons:
1/ Your emotions are lies--you're seeing the back of the embroidery. It will take months before you have enough distance to know if it's good or not.
2/ You get to have written a good book by writing a crummy one and revising it, not writing an amazing one first time out.
3/ You will learn a lot from the experience--writing a novel is a skill.
