So my first book was published in 2004. I wrote it while I was in law school. It is out of print. I keep toying with re-writing. It needs a re-write before I release it. Then I get focused on a project I'm working on and forget about it.

Razorblade Kisses is my new standalone book that I keep changing my mind about publishing. This book took me on an unexpected journey. One thing I pride myself on is when my books are published there really is nothing like them out there. I have a problem with promotion because I don't fit in a box. I need a couple of boxes for all my shit...I digress. So sometimes I'm gung ho about publishing, other times I just want to write about different things and crawl into a hole.

I'm writing three other books right now and thinking of more in my mind, but once a week my mind drifts back to my first book. The one that I felt compelled to write in the middle of the night when I went to law school and worked every day. The one that I woke up at 2:00 am and saw the first page, that never really changed. I wonder if I'll continue to push it aside. It is not a conventional story. It's real, like most of my books. The characters all have flaws and are typically un-predictable. We'll have to stay tuned to see. I usually go with the loudest voice in my head.

As I continue on this journey, I really love half the people I meet (I'm just being honest). I am continuously surprised by the friends I've made in this indie world because I'm a pretty cynical person. These people alone have been worth taking the leap to publish again. To lay bare in front of the world and let them judge me. It is an eye opening, humbling experience that I will never forget.

I love writing.
I can't live without writing.
I can live without publishing.
