Observations Upon Receipt Of My Own Book In The Mail
click to enlarge
I got a stack of galleys of my book in the mail. A stack!
They are perfect for holding atop one’s head in celebration. My new chapeau.
Apparently I have written and published a book.
And that thrills/excites/scares/thrills/scares/thrills me. I guess I wasn’t prepared for the tactile quality of the books (cheap paperbacks, of course, in their galley form, but they’ll come out in hardcover so there are still surprises in store). I wasn’t prepared to feel like maybe, just maybe, I have something in common with the heroines and authors I spent several wild months with last year.
I also wasn’t prepared to have five whole copies, so get ready for some giveaways….
