I thought I was immune to it
Immune to what? Author confidence issues caused by watching my follows like a hawk.
Not even dealing with criticism, or impostor syndrome per se, I know can write to a standard I’m happy with, it’s just the roller coaster of getting follows and then getting none, makes me wonder if the story is just not a good idea, only to get a splash of hope again.
The annoying thing is I would be fine not even watching follows and views as much, the only reason I am is because I had some early success which put me in reach of rising stars. Then I started second guessing everything about the book. Trying to optimise what shouldn’t be touched and just getting stressed for no reason at all.
Anyone else have these issues? I can’t be the only one going insane during the first few weeks of launch!
