I know that Balsa is not going to be even close to as good as I was hoping it would be but I've got to finish writing it in order to learn how to make a better adventure story. I've learned to stop stressing out so much about the poor reception and use it as an opportunity to learn. I can't spend so long worrying about what might be that I don't write it at all. That's probably the greatest lesson I've taken from writing this. A bad story is a stepping stone, not a failure.
