As I sit here waiting for the coffee to brew the sun is shining and it is looking like it will be a beautiful day out there. I’m pretty content today. I just published my third novel, Far From Over, on Amazon yesterday. I am making something I only dreamed about for so long a reality. And it feels damn good! I am proud of myself. I was so scared when I finally got the nerve up to send a copy of Say You’ll Haunt Me to a publisher. I was afraid of what other people would think of it. And then, after they told me they wanted to publish I fretted about what people would think when they actually read it as a finished book. I can’t say I’ve entirely gotten over fretting about what other people will think of what I’ve written, but I’ve come a long way. I realize I can’t always please everyone, but more than that, I’ve realized it’s okay if I don’t. My friends will still be my friends and my family will still be my family, and that’s all that really counts anyway.

With that last thought, I think I will get on to having my coffee on this wonderful day.
