Patience, patience

I've now finished the twelfth draft of A Prisoner of Birth, and now comes that agonising moment when you allow someone to read it for the first time. I don't think it matters how many books you've written, or how many are published, it is always an anxious moment - well actually about 3 or 4 days - while you wait to hear the professionals' opinions. The book has been sent to my publishers in Britain and the USA, and I expect to hear back from them today. HELP!
