…so, apparently…

There are people who actually read this thing. Yesterday, I got the coolest note through this neglected blog of mine from a book events rep asking if I might be interested in attending their author festival. This marked a first for me and I’m honestly feeling equal parts “holy shizballs!” and humbled about the whole thing. I’m also feeling the sense one gets between the pause and when stuff is about to pop off. Kind of like when you’re on a rollercoaster and it’s gone up, up, up, levels off a little bit, and then you throw up your arms because the rush of falling is coming next. This must be akin to the leveling off moment. When you’re on a rollercoaster, it’s also that time when you can look out over everything and see for miles. It’s unnatural and terrifying. Marvelous.

My normal state is pretty mellow and under the radar. I prefer to keep my head down and do my work, which makes NONE of the sense when considering bylines can and do make you an entity. So, while I’m not exactly falling into THE radar with this one, I am falling into a sort of limelight that I’m not used to. It feels right to document that here. Whatever comes next, I hope to never forget this random Wednesday where I’m pecking away at my keys dreaming about what’s ahead.

January 1 (my pub date) is right around the corner and time will tell.

Xo, G

PS-keep in touch! I’ll be back much sooner from now on.
