Maybe when I have ten books under my belt, I'll feel differently, but not yet.<br /><br />Also, I'm usually sick of a book by the time it goes out, so I'm ready for the next project. That probably doesn't help you.

Doubt sits on my shoulder and whispers mean things in my ear EVERYDAY. <br /><br />I also worry because I normally write YA contemporary novels. I have 3 written (but need editing). How will those books fair with my zombie books? Will people hate them? Do I have to write about zombies for the rest of my life? what if I can't? <br /><br />I think we all go through this. We have to push past it and keep writing the stories that come to mind. Someone, somewhere will love them. If not, well, then we write another and so on. <br /><br />Push through. You can do it.Angela Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488555961691093024noreply@blogger.com
