Are we all neurotic or what? <br /><br />I tend to think it's because we pour so much of ourselves into this stuff that it's very easy to take it personally.

I worry that I'm never going to come up with another story. Like suddenly I'll just run dry. I worry that each new thing I submit will get me laughed at. I worry that the reviews will say I should hand in my pen.

I'm sure the BIGGIES worry some too. They have a lot of fan/reader pressure to deliver a fantastic story for this character or that one.

Everyone raves about one of them like crazy and then the very next one is PANNED. You know there's a LOT of pressure here. <br /><br />I was thinking about that after reading a highly touted book by a very famous author. I mean, everyone was waiting for this one.
