AGONY EDITOR
Dear Agony Editor, When I’m working on a novel, I’m fine. Then, a few months before it gets published, I turn into an emotional wreck. I’m anxious, stressed out, and I worry about everything. I want to enjoy what should be a sweet moment. But I can’t. How do I worry less and enjoy success more? Signed, Worry Wart
Dear Worry Wart, That’s a $1 million question. And I’m not sure I have a $1 million answer. In fact, it might not even clear a hundred bucks, but here it goes. I think you have two issues working against you: your need for control and your writer’s imagination.
