MORE EPICNESS!!!

So I've been remiss lately, not posting about all the crazy that has happened in the past two weeks, so I decided to remedy that. MORE EPIC THINGS, YOU GUYS. LIKE, MUPPET FLAIL EPIC.This was me last Wednesday. Okay, so I was on my way out the door to go to a work thing and I got an email from my agent. The subject was in all caps and there were lots of exclamation points. I opened it up and started shaking. I made the New York Times Best Seller list. Lucky number 32. After I did a screamy happy dance around my living room, I called my mother, who was at work, and she cursed on the phone when I told her. My mother does not swear, so that was a BIG DEAL.I made the New York Times Best Seller list. As an indie. I just... I can't put into words how that makes me feel. There were only four other indies on the list, and I was one of them. Writers dream their entire lives of making that list, just once.You guys, I can't believe it.I also made the USA Today Best Seller list at #90. Two lists in one week. On top of getting an agent, on top of all the other things that are happening that I can't tell you about.Yet.Barely over one month ago, I published My Favorite Mistake. It's just... astonishing. I'm not very coherent in this post, am I?The very next day after I made the NY Times list, I told my boss that I'm done. As of December 22, I will be a full-time writer. I NEVER dreamed that would be possible so soon. I was prepared to slog it out for another couple of years until it happened. I'm going to be a full-time writer. THAT, over everything else, was always my dream. And it's coming true.I'm freaking Cinderella. I'M SO SPARKLY!!In other news, I'm writing again. Before you ask, no it's nothing to do with My Favorite Mistake. I don't have news on that yet, but I hope to very soon. In the meantime, I'm doing NaNoWriMo. This stands for National Novel Writing Month. Basically, I'm going to write a new book in November. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I will let you know. Right now all I'm going to say is that it's a New Adult Contemporary Romance, and it's also set at UMaine, and it's quite different from My Favorite Mistake. I'm in love with it so far, so that's a good sign. I haven't felt this good about a book since MFM, so we'll see :)
