What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done when no one was watching?

I published a book. I was sick over it and freaked out so much during the whole editing and publishing process. I loved the writing process and learned so much from doing that, but I was still not ready for someone else to read what I wrote. It is definitely not the best I have ever written, but I finally finished a novel! It was crazy and I am so happy that it is done. My second work is already well on its way and is a complete departure from the first one. There is only one person who knows that I published a book and that is my partner. He helped me with the formatting of the file and the cover image.

Copies of it have sold and I have been waiting to see if I get any reviews or feedback on what I have written. With each sale I still have a huge surge of anxiety wondering what the reader will think. It is such a scary thing. It makes me physically ill, but I have done it.
