Just in time to help me big time, I am getting clients (old and brand new) asking me to write for them! Unsolicited!
You'll never convince me Jesus doesn't have my back! I have completely ceased to fret about provisions--God provides! It was a hard lesson to learn (guess I'm not very trusting!) but, once learned, it's just the coolest thing on earth and in the Universe to be able to just put one foot in front of the other as a writer and enjoy the results!
I could work seven days a week right now. I'm not going to this weekend, though. This is the weekend Jackie and I throw my Cle Elum classmates potluck bash in our back yard.
I am SO not a hostess. I've never thrown a party in my life--too stressful. (Remember, I'm shy and still not convinced anyone really wants to hang around me much.) So I begged Jackie to stand by me and help me along. She lives and breathes gatherings. Jackie is a gregarious, dynamic powerhouse in the social realm. She LOVES it! Wish I did.
Knowing my sister has my back is helping me relax about the gathering. I'm not sure more than about four people are coming, but I haven't seen most of them since high school graduation... and (except for plays) I was pretty mousy then. A wallflower. I isolated myself from all but a very few neighbors. So, this is going to be a whole 'nuther experience. I'm looking forward to it even tho' it unnerves me a little. I'm stepping outside my comfort zone on this one, folks! WAAAYYY outside. (I think I'm more comfortable talking about hundreds of De/Trek fans in an auditorium than I will be talking to people I haven't seen in a very, very long time.) I'm sure I'll get over it, though. I truly am looking forward to catching up on peoples' lives.
I got a copy of my book today. (My publisher surprised me with a copy.) *sigh* *sigh* *sigh* *sigh* *sigh* What can I say? It's real. It's solid. I can hold it in my hand. It's magnificent. (I'm speaking aesthetically, here, not egotistically.) There are already reviews of it at Amazon. All 5 star reviews, so far. (Long may that continue!)
The interview for THE AUTHORS SHOW this morning went well. Don McCauley says he thinks it will be a hit. It'll be edited down to 15 minutes. I think we chatted for about 20-22 minutes.
He said my energy level and voice level were great, which is always a concern of his. If I like the result, I can buy rights to it to use in any way I want for $95. I may do that and post it here, on my Facebook page, on my business/book website, or on a dedicated SERVAL SON landing page (if I decide to create one). We'll see. Not sure I'm going to like it as well as Don did. (I'm pickier than he probably is when it comes to listening to myself. It has to be really good in order for me to decide to buy it!)
What else? Guess that's about it. I'm zzzausted. Gonna hit the hay now.
