Yeah, I feel this so hard. I tried writing a Substack piece on it once but you did a much better job than my attempt. Every time my co-authors and I get a bit of good news about our novel (that's not even out yet) I feel like puking. I'm pretty sure it's anxiety and not excitement.
This is so insightful and relevant. Thanks for sharing your vulnerability.
You’re so welcome, Niki!

Glad it's not just me. Congrats on the novel!
I swear that half of being a writer is managing hopes/dreams/expectations/rejections!
Mmm...only half?
