The Shy Artist's Guide to Answering Questions
There's something a little bit scary about clicking the button. The button that says, "Okay, I'm ready to send this out into the world.

I just did that today. I clicked the button. I approved the final version of my next book.

This is a very similar feeling to completing a piece of artwork. You know ... that moment when you sign your name to the piece declaring IT IS DONE.
It's an exhilarating feeling mixed with a bit of apprehension. A little bit of "I love this piece!" and a little bit of "Is anyone else going to like this?"

When you complete a piece of artwork and put it out into the world, you are putting a piece of yourself out there as well.

How your artwork, and ultimately you, are received by the world is one of those fears that all artists face.

Right now, today, I am facing that fear. While I do have some trepidation, I am proud of the book that I wrote. I know I've done the best that I can do. And, in the end, if you know in your heart that you have done your best, then there is no reason to fear.
