Thoughts about opening another door into this mysterious thing we call publishing. Hello! This is a totally new experience for me. As a long time writer who's just now stepping into the publishing world, I have to say that there are a whole lot of scary things out there. My first book came out this month and my inclination is to run back into my cave and wait and see if anything good happens, or if the most dreaded beast, criticism, rears its ugly head.
One thing I've learned is that writing is not for the faint-hearted. Well, that is, writing and letting others read what you write. Let's face it, if you're reading this, you have by now formed your own opinions, and unlike my mother, you may not love everything I write. It could prove quite a shock to my gentle system, you know. Just like when a dear friend told me one day that not everyone loves my children. I'm still having trouble beleiving it.
Anyway, as frightening as publishing may be, it's nothing compared to the joy of opening up the possibilities of a new story or writing those most coveted words: the end. Good or bad, dull or brilliant, writing is what it is. As much a joy as a pain and as essential to some of us as breathing. So here's to opening that door, rushing through, jumping and waiting for the net to appear. Happy reading, everyone!
