It’s Finally Here – My Book

I can’t believe that I am finally releasing my book into the world.  I first conceived that it needed to be a book in the winter 2017/18 and started working on it at the beginning of 2018.  In fifteen minute batches about three days a week I wrote the book that I know hold in my hands and that you can hold in yours (or on your phone if digital is more your style).

They always say that books take love, sweat and tears to create and while to some extent I agree, I would say that tenacity, determination and being willing to keep showing up were more my experience.  Now creating the landing page which you can find here took a lot more sweat and hard work than often writing the book did.

Because I just wrote about my kids.  And parenting, and partnership and what was going on in my life that particular day.  I ranted and raved, and wrote the occasional poem and wrote the occasional essay for my kids instead of just about them.  You have seen pieces of it here on the blog, though far more of it was kept for the book.

Like sending a kid away for a sleep over the first time, or off to spend a day away from you, I have all kinds of feels about my book coming out today.  Pride, relief and hopes that people will enjoy it.  Celebration for getting this far and actually completing the process.  And now sending it out into the world.
