Author anxiety



Do you ever get author anxiety or readers anxiety? What would that be AXT or RNX, well I don’t know, its not really as far as I know a diagnose officially so don’t put too much into it.

The thing is, when I read multiple books by the same author that I really really liked I sometimes can’t get my self to read the next book. It’s usually not in the same series because that one is easy, you really just need to know how the story ends. No its when you start a totally new book that hasn’t anything to do with the others. I get scared that it might not bee as good as the last, that I might not even like it, waste my time on it, those kind of feelings.

I know it irrational, of cause it is, but I really can’t help it. I keep postponing the book and usually I kick my butt because I waited. Luckily for me it doesn’t happen that often, but still it happens and I hate it.

I guess that some authors feel the same sometimes, if they really had a hit. Will we, the readers like it. I don’t really know for sure how they feel, it’s just a wild guess.

Author:

I am a danish based MM romance reader. I'll read almost anything I can get my hands on though I will admit to be a bit conservative when it comes to the books I prefer - MM romances only, light BDSM is ok, no shifters or vampire stories (I just don't get them). I just love stories about police officers, people with disabilities have my heart in an instant. Want to provide an ARC copy, no problem. I leave an honest and fair review in return, I might be brutal but I'm never mean.
