Hello Blogites,
Pushed forward by a few days after the good people at Amazon were so swift in their work (cheers), my novel, This Thirtysomething Life: A Diary is finally on sale! It's terribly exciting, but also very tense and nervous because what if no-one likes it, thinks it's complete rubbish, thinks I'm weird, thinks the story is dull, not funny, and so many other things that keep me awake during the early hours of the morning. I am a worrier by nature and this has my nerves all over it.
However, I'm also terribly excited for everyone to read it. Even though I've written two other novels, they were only read by a handful of people (thank god because they were awful), so this feels like my first proper novel. This is me, hand on heart, telling the world what goes on inside my head, and terrifying though it is, it's also quite cathartic and makes me proud of what I've achieved. Most people, at some point in their lives, think about writing a novel, but not everyone does. At least, terrible or not, I did it. I'm like the four-hundredth and eight- seventh person to have climbed Everest. No-one will ever hear about it, but I know that I did it.
So, with this book finally on Amazon and ready to tie it's own laces and set-off on it's own little journey, I can start work on my next book. I'm working on it already and even though it's not even a word on a page yet, I'm even more excited about this book because I know, no-matter what, it's going to be read.
I really, really, really, really hope you enjoy my novel. I think it's funny, heartwarming and it takes you on a journey. Please buy it, read it and please let me know what you think about it, even the bad stuff.
