any advice for a new nervous writer who wants to get published?

Colleen Hoover I wish I could say it'll get easier and the nerves will lessen, but I'm ten years in and I'm still scared to death every time I publish a book. So embrace the nerves. It means you care about what you're putting out into the world. I used to tell a friend of mine, "Be nervous." That was our pep talk, because it meant we still cared. Indifference is what you should be afraid of. Be proud that you are writing/have written a book and whatever happens after that is icing on the cake. Submit it to agents or self publish, but whatever journey you take, never forget to be nervous.
