Letting Go

After my initial publication of PHOBIA on Amazon, I had to remove the e-book because of a few typos. Then, as I fixed the typos, I noticed some places that needed tweaking.

So I tweaked.

And revised.

And edited.

And tweaked some more.

I could probably revise my book forever. As a perfectionist, even the slightest little imperfection is enough to drive me mad. I'm always looking for a better word. A better phrase. A better description.

But even perfectionists like myself need to know when it's time to let go.

So I republished PHOBIA, and now it's back out in the world.

I once read that having kids is like walking around with your heart outside of your chest.

Publishing a book is like that, too.
