Today I am tired and nervous! Several days ago I sent my completed novel to some friends to see what they thought without telling them that was mine.
Now I'm nervously waiting for the answer, thinking that possibly I could have done something better and that maybe I should not try to publish it.
I suppose they are common insecurities as a writer but now I see everything black and with my little baby sick and with no sleep everything looks worse.
Have you been through this when sharing your book for opinions?

Hoy estoy cansada y nerviosa! Hace varios días que mandé a varios conocidos my novela terminada a ver que opinaban sin decirles que era mia claro está.
Ahora estoy nerviosa esperando la respuesta, pensando que posiblemente pude haber hecho algo muchísimo mejor y que quizas no debería intentar publicarla.
Supongo que son inseguridades comunes de escritor pero ahora todo lo veo negro y con mi pequeño bebé enfermo y sin dormir todo se ve mas negro.
Les ha pasado que cuando pasan su libro para ver opiniones se ponen mas inseguras sobre su libro?
Yes. And it's important to remember they may not even have had a chance to read it yet. For us, the book is everything, but the people who will read it have to fit it into their busy lives. :-)
You are so right!! I am nervous expecting commentaries just in days and maybe they didn't even started!
