I allow myself a huge sigh of relief when the final, final version goes in, but it's quickly followed by that oh-shit-what-did-I-miss? feeling.
First finished copy is nice, but I daren't open it. Bound to spot an error somewhere, and always on the first page I glance at. (I keep an errata file for each book.)
Book launch - I always feel like an imposter. I don't do book signings, and asking shops whether they want me to sign stock inevitably leads to the manager saying something like 'But then we can't send them all back!'
Post release there's a few weeks of activity to publicise the release, but my mind has already turned to the next effort.
