hi ctg
how are you ?
well,
yes , i think you are normal
thank god you feel this way after the end , i'm now at the middle of my third book and i felt long time ago that i'm writing the worst thing of my life , and really thought to quitting so many times , although all people around me praised this book and told me it's brilliant , but i disagree with them
after short thinking i came up with a theory , if we - writers - felt great upon what we write , we are losing our motivation for advancing , as - for me at least - feeling i'm the worst pushes me to be the best .. that's what i think
so when you write down your ideas , you feel that it's not the best of you , you could do better than that alot , so in your next book you'll advance , and it's a healthy thing i guess
i'm with teresa , triology thing is a nightmare , full of great despair
so , what if the opposite happened ? what if you think of your work as briliiant and all people around you think it's not ?
i think it's time for you to get published
take the forward step towards it , who knows ..
salam..
and good luck ..
