First, I have to say this:
I’m sorry. I’m sorry to my regular blog readers who have zero interest that my book that came out last week and don’t want to keep hearing me talk about it. I’ll be posting the location of my blog tour guest post every weekday through July 1, and I hope you will bear with me and, if you need to take a break from me, come back after. (And a thank-you to all those following my guest posts on the blog tour and supporting me and this book!)
I admit there are some other things I wish I could be blogging about. But I can’t. I absolutely can’t.
What I would like to blog about:
- How the internet may or may not be ruining me.
- How my novel may or may not be coming along.
- How I have decided to handle reading reviews.
- How solitary an existence you can have in the middle of a crowded city and how strange that is.
- How much writing has changed for me after being published.
- How a shy person deals with public events, before and during and after.
- How I had this big realization this morning and wrote myself a blog post about it that I can’t show you.
But I will not be posting those thoughts anytime soon. Maybe it’s time for an anonymous blog, huh? That’s how this blog started, you know. It was wonderful.
Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I’ll be doing three events in the Hudson Valley—plus a reading in New York City—this summer and I would absolutely love to see you. It helps when people come!
