My husband hasn't read my novel manuscript. It frees me up to write without concern he'll see himself in one of the characters (which he isn't, but may very well think he is).
I'm so excited for your next book. And my peeps don't read my work either. It's a nice boundary. I don't have to stress about what they think and they don't have to read something they may not like. Then there is always the questions of whether a specific character or situation has anything to do with them. Everyone is the protagonist in their own story ; )
I love this! Some of my family reads my novels and some don't, and despite my mother trying to keep track of who has read what (she can't stand it when someone hasn't, lol), I don't care!

Exactly!

Absolutely! Long ago, a friend was convinced he was the hero in one of my romances. He er…was most definitely not!

Ha! Fabulous that your mum’s so thoroughly on your side though!
Most of my family doesn't read my novels and I'm fine with it—they're not my ideal readers. 💗
Not just me then!
