You know, there’s something quite odd about dreams.  We all have them, you know?  We all have things we aspire to be “when we grow up,” and we spend so much time working to make those dreams come true.  We work hard to make things happen, and we face rejection, and we cry and we get up and we try again.  We’re told to keep trying, and we do, we keep going.  

The confusion happens when those dreams actually start coming together, when they start to come true.

It’s an odd feeling, really, for this whole writing process to be going somewhere.  I’ve had a lot of rejections, to the point of just, you know, being prepared for them.  I always prepare for the no, so much so that I’m not quite sure how to comprehend the yes.  I’ve been hearing “yes” a lot lately, and I’m not quite sure what to do.  I’ve been getting a lot of “congratulations” and “it’s about time,” and it’s not like I don’t agree — I do — but… I’m so use to “no” that I feel at odds when I hear “yes.”

Dreams are coming true now, and I’m typing this feeling really emotional, and it’s frustrating because I don’t know how to explain it.  I mean, I know this is just a blank author’s page, but… it’s the start to something, something big, something I’ve always wanted and have worked so hard for…

… now that it’s here… what does one do?

Here’s the link to my Dreamspinner Press Author Bio.  Nothing is up yet because the story won’t be available until June, but it’s a big step.
