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.

I swear that half of being a writer is managing hopes/dreams/expectations/rejections!
