Re: [epub] First Time Nervousness!

["Pamela Heywood" <tucats@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael,

I know EXACTLY where you are coming from! I am sure many others will too,
but not many of us are strong enough to admit our vulnerabilities.

The answer is yes and no. This is a classic case of "feeling the fear and
doing it anyway". Akin to standing on stage. Your stomach may have
butterflies, but at the same time you can thoroughly enjoy the limelight.

After 36 years performing on stages, many years giving business
presentations, over 5 years writing for newspapers and 2 + years publishing
online, I STILL feel like that. I still stare at "Send!" buttons while
holding my breath.

Personally and, it always works to have an excuse, I think this fear is what
gives us the edge to do the very best! :-)) Seriously, it does prove you
care about it.

Congratulate yourself on this achievement, partake in the beverage of your
choice, don't dwell on it, start preparing the next issue straight away.
Treat it like it was *normal* and it will become that way.
