Panic Atttacks Abound...

Most people around me are probably sick of hearing about my book.  For good reason.  I have been a hot mess lately.  I'm not kidding.  I've been having full-on panic attacks.  Here are some of the things I've actually said (and mind you, anything I've said is MY opinion.)

"What if people hate it?"

"What if I get a ton of bad reviews?"

"What if no one buys if?"

And what seems to be my personal favorite...
"What if it's worse than Twilight?"

I've actually said those words...Worse. Than. Twilight...as I was hyperventilating.  Now, I'm sorry to anyone who likes Twilight.  I hate it, but I know that a lot of people love it.  I'm just glad that you're reading something.  You go on with your sparkly vampire selves and love those books/movies.

This is, by far, the scariest thing that I have ever done...including being a mom.  You see, when I became a mom, I knew that some people would have comments for me on how I'm screwing it all up (aren't we all?)  But, this...this is putting myself out there for the ENTIRE WORLD!  Anyone would be able to buy it or download it and read what I wrote, and possibly rip it to shreds.  It's freaking scary.

I go through ALL of the emotions daily.  ALL. OF. THEM.  It's exhausting!  Yes, I feel the fear, and the doubt and all of that, but I also feel the excitement and pride as well.  I know that this is a huge accomplishment.  I know that it has potential to do well (my mom told me so, so it must be true.)  I've been reading it to my 7 year old daughter 2 chapters at a time.  She's loving it.  My mom and my aunt are reading it and both have told me the same thing, "I don't usually like his genre, but I'm enjoying this book so far."  My 2 year old doesn't give a crap.

In the end, I am proud of myself for writing the book, and then taking the steps to get it out there.  I accomplished a lot in a little bit of time.  I do feel good about it, but I am also scared out of my mind.  On Tuesday, when this finally goes live, I feel bad for anyone who is anywhere around me.  I will be a nervous wreck, so I apologize for that ahead of time.
