Happiness is Validation

So The Honey Pot Plot has been out for a week now, and the reviews on Amazon and Goodreads are strong, and that makes me happy because those people don’t know me, so they’re not telling me the book is good to make me feel better. They spent money on it. If they say it’s good, they really did like it. I can take my fingernails out of the ceiling now. Come out from under the covers in dachshund mode. (Yes, I can do both. Because I said so.) Relief means huge happiness, so thank you all. Except for that woman who said we phoned it in, but that isn’t anybody here because you’ve been putting up with my anguishing over that book for months. Really, thank you.

What made you happy this week?
