What. A. Whirlwind. Week.
That’s right- my new book is available now. There is so much going on, I’ll begin with the above video. This video is a quick synopsis of the building of my book. From early journaling pages, collections of notes on server tickets and random notepads and napkins or paperbags, to transcribing it all, to the first proof.
And yes- that book of my actual handwriting is indeed charred and burned. It, along with a stack of my other journals (and cat and all people thankfully), survived an apartment fire caused by faulty wiring in an appliance. My Joni Mitchell record was displayed on the shelf behind the journals, fell forward and melted all over the stack…the vinyl, coating and hardening over the journals. In essence, protecting them better than I could have dreamed. I do miss my collector’s edition Joni, and she may never know the depths of my gratitude for such a synchronistic sacrifice.
Updates
Some updates for you, this week-ish specifically… To start, as you know, my first published collection of poetry went live and available for purchase on amazon. (The link is down below.) Then, within days, I received notification that one of my pieces (also found in my book), had been selected for publication in a collection that received over 570 submissions. Add in some fun events, minor delays, 3 years completely without alcohol whoop …annnnnd a late summer cold. Yep. Doing it all is only sustainable for so long, and then your body will sit your behind down. I’m proof this week. Though, I’m definitely grateful to report that literally all is well except for a silly cold.
