I like this format! Sort of like a video podcast. Voidy also enjoyed it, and he says hi! He also says thank you for the insight into the Amazon process. He's currently working on his cuttlefish romance novel, so he's got big aspirations for it. 😂

It was an emotional roller coaster yesterday.

Morning- Rejection letter- sad and defeated

Afternoon- Try to Self-Publish- Frustration and Anger

Late Afternoon- Finish the Self-Publish but fear it is garbage- Fear and Anxiety

Evening- Eat dinner and mull over the day- more anxiety with some optimism

Late late Evening- Makes a video and rambles, publishes at 1230am, regrets publishing silly video of self. -Worry and self doubt

Morning- Breakfast Face palm at self and laughs it off.

Well…..yesterday was a thing lol

Yeah, that certainly sounds like a roller coaster. For what it's worth, I'm super proud of you, and I'm very excited to check out your book! I need to fix my Amazon account, but once it's back up and running I'll be getting myself a copy for sure.

It may not feel like it sometimes, but you're doing amazing work. 🙏

We are our own worst critics for sure I think everything I do is okay or absolute crap. But I try not to care about people seeing my mistakes and my vulnerabilities. And being highly anxious just ramped up my own expectations of how things should look and be.

Mistakes? I once uploaded the wrong kindle book file and had to reupload it later in the night. Thankfully no one knows about me so there were no sales.

OK. Calm down.

If you effed things up, you can fix them. I've edited my books several times after uploading them. Even after they'd been live for months already.

You're doing just fine.

And no. It's highly unlikely that a real human being will read it. They've got bots for just about everything. It's all automated.
