One Step Closer
There's nothing like having a book published to teach you how great people can be. My husband works at this big company and is asked constantly about me and my book, how my career is going--people just care. It blows me away. The same happens at my son's school--there's interest there, and it touches me. My family, my friends--even strangers I bump into while at the bookstore or out getting groceries--people just seem to care about me and my silly little career. It rawks muchly. I must be cashing in on some good karma or something.
So thank you, everyone, for asking...for caring...or even for pretending to care if you really don't. It means a lot to me. On those rough days, it keeps me going.
Today, however, is not one of those rough days, minions. Today, I'm sitting down to reread my copyedited manuscript, make any additional changes, and then...I'm shipping it out to my wonderful editor. EIGHTH GRADE BITES is one step closer to your bookshelf.

Congratulations! My greatest literary accomplishment so far is to sign with an agent, who is currently hawking my nonfiction proposal to various editors. Even so, I get asked repeatedly if I have sold my book yet, when can I read it. You're right, people are incredibly supportive, surprisingly so.

Thanks, Andrew! And many congrats to you--signing with an agent is no small feat!
Congrats, Andrew!
And Heather -- who WOULDN'T support you? You're awesome, Vlad is awesome, and you're both going to rock the literary world!

Sweet. Because some of us are planning on riding on your coattails, dearest... ;-)
Wait, I thought I was riding your coattails...
We really need to organize. ;)
Can I blurb on the snippet you have posted on your website? That's all I have read of the book, and I don't want to blurb on something that I have not read :D
Can I hitch a ride on some coattails? Wait... that would require actually finishing my edits... which would require actually have the time to work on my edits... sheesh, give a guy a break here.
What I need is a good ratio of how much coffee I need to consume per hour of sleep lost. Then I can plan out my activities accordingly.
Poor Ewoh! You need much sleepage, hon. Send the kids over and go nap...and maybe edit :)
