Woe is Me . . .
So I've been going through my woe is me stage lately. A highly annoying time in my life that occurs when I'm feeling particularly stressed. Boo Hoo. Nothing is going my way. Life is so hard. I hate my job. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Today, the whining got so loud and so horrendous, I just wanted to slap myself upside the head.
Instead, I visited a friend of mine and unloaded . . . everything. Or at least what I thought was everything. When I was done and I finally went back to my office, it occurred to me. The closer it gets to the release date for my book, the more anxious I get.

I have been so nervous and unable to focus lately that I haven't been able to write anything or enjoy any of my normal hobbies. It, also, doesn't help that I'm going through some serious family issues at the moment. The stress is weighing heavily on me, making me feel sad.
I never really know how I will respond to pressure at any given moment. Sometimes, I thrive whenever I am pressed, but other times I feel the strain. However, today it dawned on me, if I I figure out what my pressure is I am able to get passed it and and start thriving again.
So even though I'm not sure I'm ready to write again, I'm more clearheaded and less stressed now than I have been the passed few days. Whew!
I hope to be myself again in no time. And I promise no more whining for a very long time.

Whine away, we all do it sooner or later. I recommend keeping a balled up pair of lightweight socks close by. You can throw them really, really hard without damaging anything and the motion does wonders.
Why are you nervous? It's a book. A damn good one if someone has taken the time and money to publish it - that in itself means you are successful.
As for the whining...a little whining never hurt anyone and I suspect it's good for your soul
