I promised a little exciting news. For me, it's nothing short of a dream come true.
I'm going to be in print. I know! If you were here, I'd be squeezing your hand or hugging you with happy tears racing down my cheeks while laughing "Can you beLIEVE it???" Somebody open champagne!
I have a wonderful partner in crime (You've probably seen him...Steve..we tromp through each other's blogs regularly) who is helping me (already has beyond belief) by taking pictures; amazing, fantastic pictures; so it is an artistic collaboration of sorts. OOOO~ How SNOOTY does THAT sound?? It started as a joke; but the more we talked and schemed, the more plausible and sensible it became and so here we are.
Believe it or not, there aren't words to describe how happy I am. When I think of it or work on it; editing until my fingers ache, my heart heats up and swells. I look at my work like it is a fascinating new bug: Will anyone like it? Will anyone see what I meant them to see? Sometimes it makes me queezy. Most times, I cry a little at the prospect of accomplishing something I never thought I would. Silliness.
I remember going to my first writer's class. I was terrified, but wrote about it, sending it to some good friends. The responses were overwhelmingly positive. I want to say to those who've waited, watched and pushed ~thank you. THANK YOU. I couldn't have done it without all the encouragement and kind words. I can hardly wait to show it to you. To think that my work will be in black and white for all to see...wow. Even if only my folks buy it; because they have to. I think it's like those ash trays we all made in art camp. They'll display it proudly and pound their chests: "My kid did that"
So this little warrior has been busy and will be; the best kind of busy.
I'll be sure to keep you in the loop: release dates, book signings....as much as I can. :)lol.
Whatcha know about that...a writer.
FABULOUS
See you soon.
