Letting go. Giving up. That's just a point of view. The words are on the page. I'm sure more will come. There's lots of people who like reading them. If that feels good, do it. If not, don't. Let the agents and editors do their thing. But the world is a better place for the work you've done.

The perseverance stuff is easy for people to say after "making it" or for those who never tried. It's rough out there, full stop. All I can say is that I love your work. Every writer I interact with loves your work.
