Writer's mind

Inside a writer's mind over the course of a book:

This idea could be pretty cool. I can make it a good book and an interesting series.

Week later: This book stinks. It's boring, I don't know where it's going, nobody's going to like it.

Week later: This is actually pretty good. I think everyone will like it.

Weeks later: I don't know if anyone will like this.

Release day: The book is good. Everyone will like it.

Bad review: I knew it was bad. Nobody likes it. I can't write. Why did I write this? My career's over. Nobody else is ever going to read anything I write.

Good review: So the book's actually not too bad. A few people like it.
