Does anyone else feel dread rather than excitement when you achieve a big milestone? Whenever I release a book, I can't kind the joy. I can only find the terror. I have a list of "what iffs" that literally prevent me from doing anything but be fearful of disaster. I asked my therapist why do I write if it creates so much angst. She answered, "Because you were born to write and the anxiety is the cost that comes with it." I'm trying to find comfort in that.
