Plaguing Insufficiencies ~
Am about to publish some poems. Just before sending them off . . . cold feet. Are they good enough? Can they survive on their own? An awful experience.
I think every author experiences this. Just before going to the press is a time that is very creative. Ideas storm in on you. Beware that you don't make too many changes.
Yes. A common insecurity. I used to wake up in the middle of the night, long after the press had run, worried I'd gotten something wrong. Never happened, at least, that way. A common insecurity, one perhaps the Old Monk can help you release.
