Ah, Jim! Looking forward to your new series. Yes, there’s no shame in crying when you’ve completed something that was initially a dream.

Thanks Carrie! I'm usually not a big crier, but I cry at the end of books I've written and I also cry during sappy scenes in movies and TV shows.

I do cry when I finish writing a novel, but then panic wipes away my tears. Did I get it right? Will a publisher take it? Will anyone read it? And what in the h@!! will I do now?

Ha!!! You are the rule, not the exception. And the panic only begins at that point. There are thousands more panics before the day is done. 🤣
