Not What I Expected

Published February 13, 2024 by Malia

Today’s the day.  The day my first novel goes on sale.

Except it hasn’t.

It’s all set to go.  Everything is ready.  It’s been approved to be published and the on sale date has been set for weeks.  Unfortunately, the self-publishing publisher that I’m going through hasn’t made it available for sale yet.

It’s frustrating and stressful.  Not exactly how I envisioned feeling the day I released my first book.  Last night I was so nervous and excited and anxious, and tonight I’m just sad. 

Fingers crossed it’ll sort itself out by tomorrow.

Dear Blog,

I’ve been neglecting you.  I’m sorry.  I’ve been so wrapped up in my thoughts and emotions and general madness that is my life, I’ve not spent any time working on you.  This isn’t really fair to you.

The truth is, I think I’ve been hiding from you.  I didn’t want you to see how much I’ve been struggling or how sad I’ve felt.  I didn’t want you to be disappointed in me.  It’s silly, though.  You know, as well as I do, that life’s not fair, and sometimes it seems easier to just hide.

So, I’m back.  Good, bad, or downright ugly, daily posts are coming back.  How else will you know what’s going on with me, my weight, and the things I’m so easily entertained by?

Until tomorrow…or later today…whichever comes first…
