Hey Writer –
I’m glad you are feeling a little better. I so admire that you are writing a book! I know how it is to have fear and anxiety over producing something. I experienced the same thing as a teacher and now as an artist. I just have a deep fear of making a mistake, for one. With teaching it was also the stress of the deadline (being prepared for every class).
I realize you don’t need to hear this, but you write very well! Also, and this may be strange, but I would be willing to help you a little if you need it. I used to work for a publishing company as an editor. I am good at organization and coming with ideas for further development. I don’t know if that would be of any help. I’ll send you my email if it is of interest. I also just need to connect with real people as I have worked from home for so long and am pretty cut off.
