I just finished a book. When I reach this milestone, I always think I should feel happy and excited, or at least satisfied. Instead, my mood seems to turn gloomy and anxious. Maybe it’s the panic of knowing I now have to send my baby out into the world to face criticism and potential rejection. Or the feeling of being at loose ends. How will I survive without a book in my head, a story to retreat into when real life gets tough? Or maybe it’s the looming challenge of what to write next that creates this sense of dread.

I never feel like that. I am thrilled when I finish a book and usually have an idea for the next one.

I experience it for a couple of weeks, even as I’m working on the next thing. I have a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I send a new book out into the world.
I’m glad you don’t experience it! It’s not much fun.
