Feeling pretty amazing, terrifying, petrifying, throwing-up-in-my-mouth-a-little great
Stayed up till 3 this morning finishing the sample chapters and synopsis. I sent them to The Editor today.
I feel very psyched about the new book - I know it’s a great story and I feel the tone is already pretty much bang-on - but this is always such a time (for me) of insecurities. What if she doesn’t like it? What if she doesn’t get it?
I just to have trust that she will. She’s smart and hip.
Still, I have that feeling of nerves. Kinda suits the first-day-back-to-school vibe out there right now. Now there’s insecurity! At least I don’t have to start at a new school for the 10th time (yup, I went to nine different schools).
I keep having this great line from the Canadian soprano Measha Brueggergosman running through my mind. Interviewed by Jessica Werb in the Georgia Straight, Brueggergosman said she felt wound up singing her debut with the New York Philharmonic: “It’s pretty intense – pretty amazing, terrifying, petrifying, throwing-up-in-my-mouth-a-little great!”
That’s how I feel.
In honour of the new book and the divine Miss B., a little “Reve infini” (“Endless dream”)…
