You guys have been on this writing journey with me every step of the way, so today I have something exciting to share.
And I'm not going to lie. I'm excited. Squealing like a little girl excited. Or maybe not. I'm more of a hold my breath and stifle a squeal kind of girl.
It's one of those milestone moments where I sit back and pinch myself, thinking "Holy cow. Is that me?"
And in the next second I think "Thanks, God. You're awfully nice to me."
There's an Interview by the fabulous Kim Ford in here too, in case you're curious about early drafts of Sweethaven and what God taught me during the writing/publication process.
This is the part of the writing journey that leaves me feeling kind of amazed and humbled and awestruck at the same time. It's funny, I almost have a picture of myself hiding behind a wall with just my eyes peeking over the top, watching like a bystander as my books make their way from my computer to the store shelves (digital or otherwise) and then into people's homes.
Thank you for bringing Sweethaven home.
So much I've learned along the way.
I can tell you in no uncertain terms, that this isn't a career path for the faint of heart. You really have to be willing to work. And then work some more. Sometimes I think if I'd known just how much work went into writing a novel, I might have shied away from it...
But if you can break it down into bite-sized pieces, you can do it.
I think that goes for anything, really. Break it down so you can digest it. One step at a time.
Anyway, thanks for letting me share my excitement today. I hope you get a chance to check out the magazine. It's a great read, whether you're a reader or a writer!
Also, don't forget I'm signing books this Saturday, December 8th from 2-4 p.m. I'd LOVE to meet you!!

Finally, I have a winner to announce.
