First Blog

I've thought a lot about this post, though probably not for the reasons you're thinking about right now. You see, I don't think I've read anyone's first blog post (well, with the exception of one or two, and I'm sure you're familiar with the ones I'm talking about–those poor blogs that only have one post on them, and that one post was made over one year prior).  I'm very aware that I'm talking to myself right now–or rather myself and my mom (hi mom!), so I feel kind of silly. Still, most blogs start out that way, so nothing new there.

I'd love to make a post about my decision to self-publish, but at the moment I'm tired. Blogging about being tired is probably the most boring subject ever, so if anyone has stumbled across this blog I apologize in advance. There will be better content up here shortly. Probably. No, actually absolutely, because I don't want this lame blog entry to be the first or third or even fifth thing people see when they visit this site. (As an aside, I think I just stumbled upon a super sneaky and effective way to make writers update their blog more often–write a bad entry, and then you'll have to write some good ones, because nothing makes people want to buy your books less than a series of rambling blogs).

In other news, After Eden is finally online and available for people to buy. As my grandma would say, I've been on cloud nine for the past few days (what does that even mean? Anybody?). Right now it's available on Smashwords (please don't click on the link yet. Something went terribly, terribly wrong with the "meatgrinder"–the name Smashwords affectionately gave its automated ebook creator–and so I'm in the process of reformatting and resubmitting the book) and Amazon (yay! Totally ready! Please click and buy!).

I think this is a good place to stop. I mean, I could go on for a while about the different types of tea I had to drink today (English Breakfast and Brown Rice Green Tea), or the things I thought about (plotting the beginning of Fallen Angels #2), but I think that can wait. Right now I'm looking forward to eating an early dinner and getting some much needed sleep.

Ahh…the excitement of the writing life.
