Jitters! BIG time!!!

So today I finally sent an excerpt of my current book project to a friend for revising, and now I´m all jittery!
I know that it's only from the first draft, so I haven't really worked through it, but the butterflies are still gathering in my stomach area...
Will he like it, is it extremely bad, will it do what I set out for it to do to its reader?????? Millions of questions, and a few days before I'll know.
Is every author this nervous when letting a new set of eyes loose on his/hers baby?
For a book, or any other written project, is indeed the creators baby, in EVERY sense! Awe to anyone whom dear say something bad about it! And yet, criticism is what makes an author better... but there is a thin line. It hurts when one gets a bad review, it overjoys you when you receive a good one, and it kills you when there are none!
Like I've stated before, it is a nerve wrecking business to write, but it is also immensely rewarding.

Wow... time does fly!
And I have to get back to my writing, I have at least a dozen handwritten pages to type into Scrivener.

Cheers!

Alas... she awoke!

So... I decided to breath life into my blog again, hoping to attract more readers this time around.
Obviously this blog is about my writing, books I'm reading or have read and off course samples from my ongoing projects.
I might even publish one or two poems ;-)

Now, just to be on the safe side, I will not promise to publish every day, seeing as I've never managed to accomplish that in the past, but I will promise to try to write something at least once a week.
How does that sound?

Oh and don't feel like you have to be a stranger, please comment, as me things, or write a poem of your own as a response to my posts, correct my spelling, point out grammatical errors or what ever you feel like. Just let me know you've stopped by!

Love
