I somehow managed to make it through the entire process of writing and editing my current novel without any of the usual despair or doubt or just hating the story in general... until just now.
In related news: five minutes ago, I sent the manuscript to the last beta reader.
@reghan The writing process is always an emotional one. That's our creation we're putting out there! As soon as it leaves our hands, we start second-guessing... is it good enough? Did chapter 40's eleventh rewrite get it right? Did I forget a plot thread? The good news is that unlike 90% of the "writers" out there, you have actually FINISHED something to get feedback ON!
Speaking of which <cracks whip> I need to get back to work on book three in MY series! 🤦♂️
