Why are we so afraid of things coming to an end?

Tonight as I finally found time to work on my book, a horrifying thought overwhelmed my body.
 "My book is almost finished!"  To the non-writer you might think this is a fabulous thing because all of your hard work will come to an end. HA!  The hard part has yet to come.  The next step in writing a book is the most daunting task.  You must send your time, sweat, tears, and soul to a publisher in hopes they won't laugh in your face.  After the second or third, "You're just not what we're looking for," you would think the sting would be less painful, but alas it is not!  It's getting picked last in dodgeball all over again.Perhaps this is why I seem to be taking my sweet, precious time to finish. 

Does anyone like to be rejected?  Rejections are like wedgies.  Everyone has to go through some eventually in their life, but the thing you have to remember is to just dig deep within to pick yourself back up again.
