I know, I know: I said September was a break month.
But I'm a bad author, because...
...I forgot that the one year book birthday of Stay Out of the Basement was September 17th!
And yes, I'm totally five days late to celebrating my own first book release. I had it in mind for months prior that I would re-read my own books on their anniversaries and see what new lens I come at it with. Will I still come at it as the author? Will I be able to appreciate it as a reader? I have pretty decent recall, so I have to give myself time to forget things enough to see it with fresh eyes. But the 17th rolled around, and...
Yeah, I fell behind. I got busy. I work, I write (and for the life of me, I cannot read while I'm writing; it messes up my groove!), I have a married brother who pops in for visits often. Things did not go according to my plans.
So my celebration is late, but as they say, it's better late than never, right?
Here's to [a little over] a year since beginning my publishing journey! Here's to the people who read my work-in-progress and said, "Go for it." Here's to the memories of that process and experience, and to the physical product that I now get to hold in my hands. And here's to you, my readers, who have blessed me beyond expectation by supporting my work. Thank you.
And Happy Anniversary to Stay Out of the Basement! If you haven't already bought a copy, you can get yourself a paperback or eBook here.
