Thanks for sharing this! With the pressure from social media and to document everything, it feels like you’re *supposed* to have this wave of emotion when you touch your book for the first time. That’s hogwash. You can feel however you wanna feel, even if that feeling is β€œI don’t know if I feel anything.”

I love this post. Thank you for sharing all of these feelings and the weird tension that exists for authors.

I've always loved this quote on success: "When you are actually succeeding, it tends to be quiet and comes always quite unannounced and without a lot of fanfare." ~Teresita FernΓ‘ndez
