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!
