So my book is coming. My first book. Little Victories. November 3. A rule book for people who hate rule books. Advice for people who hate advice. Hopefully it will make you laugh and cry and all that good stuff.

I am excited for you to read it, and I am grateful to all the people in the Goodreads community who have already taken the time to read it, or order it, or take an ARC copy and use it to prop up a hamster or alligator cage. (Myself, I let my hamsters and alligators roam, free range style.)

I have been writing for magazines and newspapers for a long time but everything about this book writing experience is very new. The solitude, the time commitment, all the advance work. But I am so thrilled to hear of people's excitement for books of all kinds. Don't let anybody tell you that the printed word is dead.

Print rocks, and will live forever.
