“Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book.” —Author Unknown
An author can be compared with a mother who conceives and undergoes a lot of pressure and pleasure while carrying the child in her womb. The author conceives an idea to author a book. He finds several challenges right from inception to reality. For instance, he has to sacrifice his time to write a book. He undergoes several trials and tribulations apart from the routine challenges to complete the book. Once the book is completed he has to search for a suitable publisher who would take the book forward. And it takes a lot of time, especially for budding authors. The author has to look for a suitable person to write the foreword and it takes time to get approval. In addition, he has to work for endorsements from experts in the field to make sure that the book gets better visibility. It again takes time. In the meantime, there will be challenges between the publisher and the author on various issues. There will be challenges related to time deadlines to get the endorsements for incorporation in the book. The entire process is easier said than done. The author invests his knowledge and the publisher invests money for publishing the book. There has to be the right understanding and chemistry between the author and publisher. Once the book is published, it is for the readers to decide whether it is properly delivered. If readers accept, the author gets elated with his efforts.
Similarly, the mother feels happy when she conceives the child initially. She undergoes a lot of pressure and pleasure while carrying the child and mostly lot of pressure. At the time of delivery, she undergoes a lot of pain and finally, she delivers the baby. The moment she sees her baby she forgets the entire pain and gets excited by seeing her baby. The author also gets excited when he first sees his book on hand. He will be happy when his book delivers the goods as per the expectations of the readers. It is a great feeling indeed for both the author and mother while delivering the book and the baby.
I would like to conclude that as every mother is possessive of her baby, every author is possessive of his book.
