Nerves

I’m three weeks away from my debut novel going live, and I am a mixture of nerves and nerves.  I submitted my manuscript for pre-order last night, and now I’m thinking “What have I done?” I want to hit the undue button and say I’ve changed my mind.

Is it good enough?  Will it take readers on the journey that I’ve envisioned in my mind?  Will anyone actually read it?

I’m a jumble of emotions right now, and I know there’s no pep talk I can give myself to make this any better.  So I’m going to take a deep breath and move on to the next book.  Hoping, if I give myself another set of characters and their problems to focus on, I won’t be so focused on myself.

How about you?  Anybody care to share their debut novel fears?
