The Pre-Release Jitters: AKA TRAVELERS Releases Tomorrow!
I don't think I'll ever reach a point in my writing career where a book release doesn't give me some serious butterflies. Well, I hope I don't, because that would be kind of sad. A book release is supposed to be fun and exciting and new--of course it should make me a little nervous and jittery! So, today, I'm trying not to dwell too much on what this all means, and how I have a very complicated time-travel book headed out into the world tomorrow. I mean, what if no one likes it? What if it doesn't make sense? What if...well, just what if! So, today, I'm trying to just not think about the whirlwind this book will bring, and think more on some of the fun little bits of the story. Like these:

Yeah, I don't think the pre-release jitters will ever cease to be there, but I think that's good...it means the words we create mean something to us, and hopefully that translates to being meaningful to our readers. Excited for you and the book, Meradeth! I hope you do something special to celebrate tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Meradeth! I think it's natural and wonderful to be nervous and excited at the same time.
ReplyDeleteWarm congratulations, Meradeth! It's a great book! Aloha!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is totally normal to be nervous! It is a big deal! So excited for you. This sounds like a book I will enjoy- I am fascinated by time travel. :) Wishing you ALL the best!
ReplyDeleteyay! SO excited (and totally normal to be nervous!) also I signed up for the big day tomorrow but all I got in an email was a blurb, nothing more...and the email said "sorry for the secondary email" but I never got a first email...did I miss one?
ReplyDeleteI feel that way with every book...and no, I don't think it'll ever change. And I learned earlier this year about a thing called "post book-release depression." It's that letdown you feel a week to a couple of weeks after the release, when the attention shifts to the next book that's out and all the fanfare about your book's release fades away. I felt it a little this last time, even though I didn't after the first one. I think with the first one it was because I was still doing signings for friends and such a couple of weeks after? But if you feel a letdown after all the excitement dies, know that it's normal!
ReplyDeleteJitters are a natural thing! I owe you a post- I'll have it placed tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand this feeling. I'm going to share your book tomorrow. I'll probably read it in a week or two. It looks so good.
ReplyDeleteHope your sales are through the roof.
