“Until, one moment, a moment I can’t quantify, when the whole puzzle turns. It all gets easier.”

It’s funny, how I still want the A+, the external validation, the idea that someone who knows more than me decided that this book is worth reading.

In the middle of all of that, my thought was, “What could one person possibly do?”

So, now that I’ve announced my book, I thought I would take a moment to talk a little more about what it’s about.

I don’t know if this is how it’s all supposed to work, but I know for me right now, this feels like the right way to release this book.

It’s a hard thing, making a book hard to put down. A lot goes into it – pacing, chapter breaks, plot twists – and as a reader, we usually don’t notice unless it’s done badly.

Maybe I’m condemned to spend the rest of my life getting myself into and out of scrapes.

It’s hard, this job that doesn’t feel like a real job. And having a significant portion of that “job” be sitting and imagining, well, I might as well pack it in. There’s no grindstone here.

Some moments are for greeting old books like old friends, reconnecting with familiar stories, and reminding ourselves that it’s ok to take it easy sometimes.

Too many hours inside this head of mine and I realize that I am terrible, everything I write is terrible and do I even know how to make a grammatically correct sentence anymore?
