Today is the last day I have to preface my status as a published author with “soon to be.” Today is the last day I get to wish that someday I’ll publish a book. Today is the end of one era of my life, and the true beginning of the next.

Tomorrow, I wake up a published author. Tomorrow, I fulfill a dream I’ve had since I was a kid. Tomorrow, I prove some people right, and others wrong.

Buy the Book

I have so many people to thank, and I do my best to thank them as often as I can and let them know how much they’ve changed my life and helped me take on this challenge. The confidence they’ve given me to give this a shot has been nothing short of miraculous, as are the numbers of pre-orders and people hyped to read my book.

A few people have asked me how I feel about it, about having a book launch party on Friday and having my book available to people. Right now it’s a game of Pong in my brain where the ball bounced between “holy shit, I did the thing” and “dude, it’s just another day, get back to work” and so I’m not sure how I feel yet. Knowing me, I’ll be thrilled for a few minutes every few days, since that’s how I handle things like this.

I’m not a crier. I won’t sob with joy when I wake up in the morning as a published author. I didn’t cry when my box of books got here, or I saw my first printed book. It’s just not my thing, but I assure each and every one of you, I AM extremely psyched for this book and all the books that will follow. Because now I can’t stop.
