Whew, posting the excerpt from my debut novel was harder than I thought it would be. I kept making excuses about it not being ready, needing one more editing pass, blah blah blah. You are all familiar with the stall tactics. I had to get out of my own way, pull myself up by my own collar, and start before I’m ready. Shout out to Sadie Smiley for that last one. If we waited until we were ready, we’d never get anything done. So I’ve put it into the world before I’m ready, even if I cringed every moment before hitting “publish”. There was panic and I wanted to snatch it down, but dangit, I am keeping it up. The first step is always the hardest, but here I am.
Congratulations! I can’t wait to read it. Im adding it to my calendar now.
Thanks, friend and beta reader for all the encouragement!

Thank you very much! Congratulations on finishing that first draft–that’s amazing! I hope you celebrated accordingly. In what genre do you write?
