And The 5 STARS Start Rolling In
I'm bored, so I figured I'd blog.Some of you may be asking yourselves"How in the hell can she be bored? Isn't she supposed to be writing?"In which case I will reply"Yes, yes I am. But I am FREAKING OUT!"
Now, why am I freaking out?Simple.So far EVERYONE freaking loves The Prophecy.Now, I know. That's absolutely awesome and a hell of a lot better than what I was expecting.Lets be honest, I'm still waiting for that horrible review that will make me want to cry.BUT the fact that there is 100% worth of 5 STAR reviews so far leaves me with this:They love the first book SO freaking much,WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SECOND ISN'T UP TO PAR? Lets face it. I could slip.My writing genius could take a steady decline into the sub-par or,Goddess help me,truly awful dribble. So I'm faced with 'what-if's'.WHAT IFthe second book sucks some massive a**?WHAT IFeveryone is disappointed?WHAT IFI go from all 5 STARS down to all 1 STAR reviews?WHAT IFthe sky turns to ash and my nose falls off? I know, a lot of paranoia without even a HINT that any of that could happen,but the fact still remains that it is ALL a possibility. So I guess I better just buck up and get to writing, eh?If I let all the thoughts consume me, I'll actually have disappointed people becauseI wont have ANYTHING written.O.OThat would not be good. Cue the angry mob.
So I guess I'll just shove all that paranoia to the sideand get back to work.We'll see how it all falls together in the end ;) Until next time, Happy Reading ^.^

Hmmmm, well you have a valid point in many ways. BUT...YOU are an amazing writer, and the story line itself is awesome...stop with the self doubt pity party...take a deep breath, toss back a double shot of caffeine,suck it up Sally and GET TO WRITING THAT BOOK!!! BESIDES...you have such an awesome team of nerds that are willing to beta read book 2 and let you know whether it even comes close to the awesomeness of book 1, which I think it will! You are just nervous, and don't want to let anyone down, most importantly, yourself and your writing ego. You've got this Des! I know you do girl...now get to it, I can't wait for Book 2!!!! <3
