Autumn is here and 'Echoes' is coming!

Life never runs smoothly, at least never for me. The latest curve in my life is my re-launch of my first novel 'Echoes' which was taken on by Christine F Anderson Publishing. it is due out on the 24th October - I'm reassured, yet it is the 8th and I've still not seen it to re-edit if needed!
Now, the publisher has had some personal bad news which is awful and my thoughts and prayers go out to her. I can't help but think selfishly and wonder if this will delay my launch?
Even as i write those words I feel like a terrible person. A few more days shouldn't hurt, should it if necessary? Will my baying public wait for my book?? (I'm laughing my arse off now!!) Baying public!!
I've re-read the above and I sound bitter - am I? Maybe? I mean, no one reads these posts do they? At least, no one lets me know they do. No one wants to ask me anything on 'Ask the author' on Goodreads so I'm beginning to wonder what the hell am I doing this for?
Now, I know we all have days like this - so here's mine! If I stop writing today would anyone notice?
Okay, I hear a couple of ladies crying in the background as they've been so patiently waiting for novels three and four! But apart from my loyal ladies, why am I doing this?
For myself? yes, I love writing, we've established that in an earlier blog (no one read??)
Stress is my new best friend lately. I feel overwhelmed with writing articles and books and faerie stories and feeling like I'm doing it for no apparent reason other than to keep myself sane. Is that a good enough reason do you think?
