OK, what do I do now?

For the first time in months I got up this morning without a deadline looming. I didn't have to rush through mail, didn't have word counts and sidebar ideas clouding my thinking.. it's weird.

Of course, sending the book out was very difficult for me. No matter how many accolades I receive, I'm one of those people who just can't accept that my writing is actually good. I'm always sure that it is going to come back with a note attached saying "you fraud! Give us back our money!"

Well, I could jump on the WoTC proposal.. or write a rough outline for Laws and Lawbreakers. But today, I think I'll play Nethack for a while.

Heh. I know all those feelings very well.

You could help me write Javascript....

Yet another thing we have in common. I think of it as "impostor syndrome". Over the years it's gotten moderately better, but there are still sleepless nights and moments of daytime panic when I'm sure that they're onto me, that I'm on borrowed time, that everyone is waking up to the fact I don't actually know what I'm doing.

Weird, weird neurological wiring. I presume it's connected to the good stuff somehow, but I wish there were a better design available.

But, meanwhile, gods yes enjoy a day of rest. God took one, after all, and he only worked six days. Slacker. :) And congrats on the book. I can't wait to read it! What's the estimated publication lag?

Oh, Thanks!
