Sitting on the sofa in the kitchen, in the dark. The only light in the room is my laptop screen. I'm hungry and fairly uncomfortable, and the cats need feeding. But I don't want to move. Why? Because it's publication day tomorrow, and I'm addicted to reading the first reviews that are starting to come in.

I know, I know, don't say it. I shouldn't pay any attention to reviews. You can't please everyone, and while reading a positive one is uplifting, re-affirming and grin-inducing, a negative one can make you want to give up writing and go back to tending sheep. Not that I've ever tended a sheep, but I could start. I'd be willing to give it a try, anyway. If I had to.

But so far... The reviews have been so positive, I'm positively glowing. Which is just as well, as it saves me from getting up to put the light on. Now, if I could just figure out a way to get the cats fed, I could stay here all night...

See you all soon.
