Even more concerning is that by weakening our emotional armor we make ourselves more vulnerable to things like failure, rejection, anxiety, and stress. So stop the self-criticism and protect your self-esteem when it's low by practicing self-compassion.

Novel means ânewâ and must surprise the reader in some way. The very word ânovelâ itself tells the reader that what is told is ânewâ or ânewsâ or âshort story of something newâ. Hence a novel must have the capacity to surprise the reader or must contain something unusual that he has not heard of.
