Not much compares to the joy of sending out book orders for young readers for Christmas. ๐Ÿ’œ

Note to self: Christmas is starting earlier every year. Be prepared. Buy colourful wrapping paper in November. ๐ŸŽ

That feeling of triumph, then frustration, then hope, then fear, and finally satisfaction - or is it weariness? - that you made it to The End. Again.

And now we wait. Will it be rinse and repeat?

Book 2 in The Sketcher Series. Hopefully, coming soon.

2/2

What a feeling, you know the one. When you write a book, edit a book, get editorial feedback on your book, rewrite the middle of your book...and send it out for more feedback.

No, I'm not trying to draw wonky eyes, but I do spy with my little eye... Stu! The thrill of seeing your book in bookstores never goes away.

Or it's Ingrid's book, after a girl who bought a copy at my most recent event. When Stu's story becomes someone else's story.

So tell me, how do you describe your book?

I'm all set for my booked-out writing workshop for kids at Erina Library tomorrow! (Idk why I look like a Twilight vampire on the library billboard but I assure you, I am a living breathing human who does not have a penchant for drinking blood.)

When you're signing books at a pub and a customer buys your book - and buys you a glass of wine (and yes, I signed all the books BEFORE I drank the wine, not the other way around). ๐Ÿ˜‚
