No matter how often we're published, or how frequently we're reviewed, I don't think any of us overcome the fear of being rejected, criticized, or misunderstood. After years of being a newspaper columnist, I finally learned how to thicken my skin. I got lots of fan letters and some hate mail, too, and through it all I realized that I can't please everyone all the time. You're wise to prepare yourself for negative reviews -- but don't be surprised if your book is a big hit, too. Best of luck to you!

The worst that could happen has already passed, meaning you could be failing as a writer (which you obviously aren't, since publication is on the way). So from that perspective, it should be a golden sunrise on the horizon for you. Good luck and thanks – now I have another novel to keep my eyes out for.
