I'm Celebrating the end of the tour!

At Long Last! Blog Tour Finale at Elise Fallsons' + IWSG


Whoopee! This is it! I’m so excited that this blog tour went amazingly. All of you guys who hosted, commented and entered just blow me away! Thanks so much for your support.

On this last day of the blog tour, go on over to Elise Fallson, a most wonderful American chick who lives in France and is working on two manuscripts. Isn’t that just crazy! I can’t even be into reading more than one book at a time, yet she's writing a YA and an NA book! Phew!! 

Today’s and the final host:  Elise Fallson

Insecure Writer's Support Group
At the same time as the last day of my blog tour, that is, the 1st Wednesday of the month, is the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, an ingenious creation of Alex J. Cavanaugh.
I have to say that overshadowing any insecurities I might have is my excitement of all that’s been going on: The tour; I’ve been writing on my WIP; I’ve reread my first book, and am still in love with it; I’m doing more interviews; and I’m reading Julie Flander’s book, Polar Nights, and I’m looking forward to finishing and reviewing it.
The insecurities that are being overshadowed are: Will all the money I’m shelling out to this publicist be worth it in the end? Will I ever make more than I’m spending, or at least ever break even, with my books? Will I be able to finish my WIP with the resolutions and ending that I don’t yet know, but am craving? Will I ever get a husband? (Ooops, that slipped out. Wrong support group!)
Well fellow writers, I look forward to your support and providing what support I can to you!
