Good Morning. I’m sharing some animals gifs to explain how an author feels after a book release. At first you’re like, “Hey, this is going pretty good. I just need to do a few things. I’ll take one step (or bite) at a time.

And then you’re like, “Wait. I need to do this and this and this and this and this.”

And then you’re like, “Oh my God. I forgot to do this and this and this. Where did I put that one thing that I needed? Did I send that email? Where’s that stupid checklist I made?”

After a while you come to terms with the fact that you can only do so much, and you retreat to your blanket fort with some chocolate or  a cookie or some type of food that’s as big as your head.

The next morning when your alarm goes off, you try to be a little less manic and enjoy the process.
