Inside the mind of an author 3 weeks before release day

How do authors often feel three weeks before a book is released?

Let me count the ways.

Terrified. Because what if people hate it?

Stressed out. Because what if no one buys it, and your publisher is disappointed?

Cranky. Because promoting a book is not all that fun.

Okay, so maybe I don't know for certain that's how other authors feel. I just know how I feel. 

J.K., you ever feel terrified, stressed out and cranky before a book's release?

Maybe she did. Who knows? Waiting to see how fans reacted to the last book in the series probably wasn't a ton of fun. Although, pretty sure she didn't have to worry too much about disappointing her publisher, right? :)
