People often ask me how it feels to be a published author. More specifically, "What was your reaction when you saw your published book for the first time?"
Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm rarely at a loss for words. But on that day (September 14, 2021), I was practically speechless when my publisher called me in for what I naively thought was a routine visit to iron out final details and "take a few pictures."
In reality, it was to present me with a "hot off the presses" first copy of my published book, Write Like You Mean It: Mastering Your Passion For The Written Word.
No. I didn't cry.
Well, at least not while anyone was watching.
And no, I didn't run around the room excitedly like a kid in a candy store. I was rather proud of myself for keeping my composure on the outside. On the inside, I was dealing with a riot of emotions. In honor of Throwback Thursday, here's the video of the unveiling.
I mean ... how many times can one person say "wow" in such a short amount of time?
Wow!
I mean ... wow!
WOW!
