2 - That thought is totally normal, but all of the evidence says that at least a *few* people will want to buy. 3 - nearly 100 people email in to get on the preorder queue 😍 4 - one stupid guy replies with some nonsense about keeping politics out of business (lol)

5 - my own stupid chaos monkey brain keeps replaying his stupidity, INSTEAD OF replaying the 100 people who enthusiastically wanted to buy my book that isn't even out yet. Brains are the worst, really.
