Oh my goodness. I don't even know where to start. We are closing in on The Museum's book birthday, which is the day I officially released my writing to you. I became an author one year ago and I still don't even believe it. And I have learned so much this past year from myself and from you.
First. I am in fact the worse blogger ever. I mean, I come to my blog just about as much as I workout (I don't). But I also have people that count on me, so here I am blogging again. Second, I am not mom of the year and I'm okay with that. I am not honor student material but I still try. And at the end of the day, my son gives me the biggest smile and my grades have not plummeted so life goes on. I am always tired. My motivation has been struck with baseball bat. Every week is me coming undone so that the next week I can put the pieces back together. I am so perfectly imperfect and I am so proud to admit it. I have grit. I am determined even when I'm not. I'm one happy contradiction.
Because of this past year, I am the happiest I have ever been. I set a goal and I reached it. But I didn't do it alone because I had you. You guys have been so supportive and so helpful on this journey as a writer and I cannot thank you enough. I wanted to publish two books within my first year and I did. Your response to the SI series has been wonderful and it's only the beginning. You guys are truly amazing!
As I mentioned on our Facebook page, Crowing Iridescence, the next book in our SI series is due sometime in 2017. I am also working on an adult romance series for our 18+ readers and there will be more information on that later. This Thursday UMSL is doing an open mic night and I highly recommend this event to all writers in the St. Louis area. On November 17th I will be doing a local book signing event with the St. Charles Library. And with all this I have a "New Year" resolution to start off my next year as an author and blogger; I will blog once a week, I will publish more books, and I will always keep you involved in the process. You guys are my friends and I want you to always be apart of the journey.
