I wish you luck on your novel's progress.  I'll check it out when I return from work today.  

Thank you, but I don't think it's that good

It is your first try.  Remember that.  

Keep your head up and continue the good work.  Yes, regardless how you think of the quality, the effort is still good.  Just think of it as creative practice.  You will be getting better by turning your writing into a habit.  You're already creative.  With time and that effort of yours your writing will improve.  

That's exactly what I wanted to hear from a reader, thank you very much
