Yesterday, I met up with my writing mentor for our weekly check in. She’s currently about two-thirds of the way through my book, and as always, she’s offered me some great advice for how to strengthen Closer Than You Know.
But then she said something that hit me right in the feels. She said she’s planning to attend my book release party because she has no doubt that Closer Than You Know will be published.
BRB. Got something in my eye. Gonna go ugly cry for a bit.
I’ve been writing my whole life, but it’s been about 13 years since I first sat down and said, “I’m going to write a book” and then actually did just that. And while that book hasn’t seen the light of day, knowing that the past 13 years of working hard to improve my skills is close to paying off is…well, it’s a lot.
Go me.
