You’re guilting your children into helping with an unsuccessful business. Instead of properly trying to start publishing with a professional editor and a marketing budget, you’re hoping to get by cheaply using your adult children.
Your kids deserve to have lives of their own. While they’ve likely told you they’re happy to help, that’s probably because they’d feel bad telling you no. You can’t expect them to keep spending their 20s helping their aging parents with a pipe dream.
If you’re serious about writing, then invest in it. Save up and hire professionals to help you with a story you believe in. If you’re not confident enough for that, you’re just wasting your children’s time.”
