    I love writers but I think I’ll just be a consumer of words instead of a word crafter…

    Thank you for the morning laughter! And, I can relate to this part (though I am not a writer): ““I’m so good at everything I do,” you tell your cat, who then proceeds to vomit on your hardwood floors.” Except my cat always runs for carpet to vomit on.

    I love words, all words! I love how a seemly simple everyday person can take words and make worlds come alive. Words that make you cry in happiness, laugh in sadness, shudder in fear, make you fall in love with a character who is not real to anyone but you. So I thank all the writers who have this ability….

    This is the funniest and most honest retelling of releasing a novel that I’ve had a chance to read in a long time. (I should be writing instead of fucking off on Facebook, but we know how that goes.) Although you did leave off the horror of sending it out to the beta readers.

    I have *never* had a release day like that. ? All the other stuff is pretty accurate, though… ?

    Yeah, I’ll stick to reading instead of writing. And also my cat sometimes vomits on my hardwood floors, but he’s not picky, he likes my couch too. I’d prefer he pukes on the floors. It’s easier to clean!
