I got my first novel published this year but I don't feel proud or happy about it. I look at my book and its like someone else wrote it maybe its down to the depression I had suffered for three years. Everyone. Else is happier than I am about it. Ive tried for years to do this and still feel nothing.

Hey now, That is cool you did this .. Well done Phoenix2173 I can understand how you feel as I am the same when I accomplish things. It is like they mean nothing to us .. This is low self worth and low self esteem. We don't feel we make a difference to ourselves or to anyone. And yes I would like to know what it is called.
I think part of what you are feeling is the creative process. You have to let go in order to move on. People who cling to past work or to live in it's glory stagnate. I am not a sci=fi or fantasy fan, but I did read what was on Amazon . good start. Most people don't get that far. Remember , it isn't the destination, it's the journey. Pam
