I know what you mean and its fine if you get a swelled head at times. If you're prideful, you're proud, and if you're proud, you tend to write (type w/e) with more of a flourish in your words.

It's just if you start boasting ALL the time, then it's problematic and may result in someone smacking you upside the head lmao

Maybe they don't read Redwall books, maybe they have read your stories but have not really commented, it could be anything.

My suggestion would be to talk it over with your parents (if you sent it to them) and ask them why (in a mature manner) haven't they read it. If they say they have no time, it's total bs then. If they can't spare 5 minutes or so to read a chapter or two...it's not befitting for the role of a parent.

But I don't know what type of situation it is in your household. In the worst case, you could hear them say words that you never really wanted to hear. In the best case, they could read it and praise you for your creativity. Most likely, you'll hear a neutral explanation of why they are not reading it.

Just be prepared...this is a slippery road that I am carefully navigating as I am not a parent, so alot of times, I can't see their reasoning behind their choices.
