The post-pub blues are extremely real! It's a lot of anticipation and stress and buildup and then . . . it's kinda over. But I agree with you that my best days are usually more writing-focused, where the actual work and fun (haha, sometimes) is. And wow, I have never steeled myself to ask a single one of those pub week questions lol.

i feel this. i did a tour of local indie bookstores the week my book came out. some had it but there's one--a big one that I've spent TONS of money at--who never carry my books. I keep trying to make myself not focus on that extrinsic stuff.. but i keep doing it!
