title: The "ups" and "downs" of getting published.
abstract: One stumbling block to writing is the variety of emotional reactions a prospective author must negotiate: the "ups" and "downs" of publishing. An impressive publishing track record does not necessarily mean an author will avoid anxiety, self-doubt or the fear of rejection. A conceptual schema outlines the phases in the publishing process and the associated potentially problematic emotional reactions.
