Sent my novel to my Niece

I was able to email it to her today it was difficult to do. I haven't let anyone read my novel yet so it was hard to let it go. It's gone to be corrected. My niece graduated as a teacher from Queen's University and is the head librarian of the children's section in Perth. I told her to be brutal with it to rip it apart. I think I'm ready for it I'm usually sensitive to criticism but I know I have to put that aside and be strong. Well I'm tired and should really get to bed and I'll write again in the morning more.
