It’s a weird one, but it’s one I think many a hacker of stories and teller of tall tales struggles with.

What if, despite our expectations, the book is both liked and successful?

Where to then?

How would we square that circle?

Not one that I must struggle with – but it is one that haunts me.

What if after all the years of struggle, the dark cold nights of the soul where everything has been questioned, what if after all that my book does okay and people like it?

Weird isn’t it.

Fear of success normally succumbs to self-sabotage or an over inflated case of imposter syndrome – but what if this time it doesn’t?

In a world full of real problems – this one is mine.

Writers are such melodramatic types.

Hug those you love, put perspective on your worries and whenever possible smile at the world and enjoy the ride that is life.
