Writers freak out. It’s just a fact. Find an author in any stage of the publication game–the agent search, submission, revision, book launch–and I’ll bet you that, if she’s not in the middle of a freak-out, there’s one just around the corner.
When Overwhelmed Author Syndrome rears it’s ugly head, I recommend the 3 B’s.
Breathe.
Booze.
Books.
And, by books, I mean put down your own book and read someone else’s. It’ll remind you why you got into this business in the first place.
There’s nothing more to add to that! 🙂
Fantastic advice. 🙂
I think you totally win this.
And not just because you referenced Beauty & The Beast (I can recite the film by memory) but because you’re so right that we freak out at every stage of the process.
You used a Big Bang Theory gif! I approve this message.
I love the three Bs! Sometimes I added a “C” — crying. Good for letting out tension. 🙂
