So…I’m about to be a giant girl.
Oh my god, oh my god, ohmygod!
How am I even going to sleep tonight? It’s here, people, my book is available for purchase tomorrow. I’ve been in the midst of a mini-breakdown all week. Like I’m excited, but I would also like to toss my freaking cookies. I did it. Add that to my list of things that I’ve done that felt impossible. 1. I moved to Hawaii and bought a house on garage sale money. 2. I fell in love when I thought I was too broken to feel that way ever again. 3. I wrote a book and published it. Anything is possible—one challenge at a time.
And yes, I am aware that my book could bomb, but that doesn’t change that I did it. Succeed or fail, I did it, and that’s something.
Right now, I’m working on getting the audiobook out, probably another month on that, and I’m chipping away at the second book. It’s crazy to think I’ll hopefully be doing this again next year. Holy cow, what have I started? I’m terrified.
So along the lines of distracting myself, guess what? My house is in escrow! I bet you never thought I’d get out of that situation (me either). Closing is November 9th. Over two years later, I’m finally going to be closing that chapter, and it feels so good.
On the nerd front, I’m now living three separate lives. First, as you know, just me, and that’s a trip all in itself. I’ve also taken role-playing a tarot-reading vampire in Vampire the Masquerade, and here soon, I’ll be participating in Wallace family Dungeons and Dragons as a dark elf bard. Don’t lie; you know you’re impressed.
That’s all I’ve got for the moment. Please send all the good vibes my way. I’m going to be a wreck!
XOXO,
SamiJo
