Tornado of Emotions
Releasing a book is a tornado of emotions each and every time, as I'm sure a lot of authors will agree. Usually, this torrent spins up over one question, "What if everybody thinks the book sucks?"
A valid concern, as candidly many books do fall short in truly connecting in the eyes of various readers (myself included). But, an art is an art, so I would applaud an author's earnest attempt at a new creation.
Some may think all authors are looking to become best-sellers or are deep down seeking acceptance. Well, I think I've disproven the point by now, but if not, may I present to you my offerings? :D
Acceptance and best-sellers would be nice, surely, but the heart of motivation is the heart of motivation. To clarify, a person's passionate spirit provides joy for a work regardless of outcome. Writing is no different than anything else we place our efforts into, just has a more visible results and invites judgment because books are a form of entertainment or teaching.
My friends, be bold, be strong, for the Lord your God is with you, so that in all your labours, your work is pleasing in His eyes, a joy for you yourself to behold, and accepted by those who ultimately accept you.
