I suspect that one of the reasons most people who start writing a book never finish is fear of criticism. Book critics were never a cuddly group, but the denizens of cyberspace, whoa. Would you be brave enough to face this gauntlet?
(If all else fails, I guess you could hire someone from fiverr.com or some such to give you top stars, as many authors apparently do. Which would be sad, but not as sad as many things on this earth, I mean, like the plight of homeless dogs in Calcutta or something. Or having only such readers in your book group. I wasn't referring to the dogs.)
