Hey guys, I’m like 50 cent away from actually getting a check from cafepress. If you like my photography or if you’re just curious, check out my shop? Calendars, mugs, postcards lots of other stuff.
I keep randomly squeeing today and whispering “I’m an author” to myself. Still giddy happy.
My awesome roommate finished my scarf today

I Write Like. Analyze your writing!
Really? I’ve never read a thing by him. And I tried this with two chapters from my novel and got the same result. Now I’m wondering why. And also thinking maybe I should read one of his books. I guess this is a good thing?
So I’m a writer, and I’ve got a couple of books that have been finished for quite a while. And I’ve been talking about just using lulu and self publishing for, well, years. As of right now I have the first book uploaded and basically good to go. It’s not for public sale yet as I want to get my own copy and give it one more read first, plus my amazing graphic designer roommate is working on my cover. Still, I’m not going to lie, I cried when I looked at the proof online, I’ll proably cry more when I have it in my hands.
And trust me, I’ll be letting everyone know when it’s really for sale. It’ll be available in ebook and print. Here’s my backcover blurb for now:
Evan Berger wakes early one morning to pounding on his door. It’s his best friend, Yoshi. “We have to leave. Now, right now, no time to waste."
Too soon he realizes Yoshi has told the truth, and ordinary is gone.
Now Evan and Yoshi are on a hostile road. Every stranger is a threat. Worse, something has changed between them. Can he still trust the man that saved him from fire?
I described my attitude today as very Owen. Which is bad as I work in customer service.
I wonder what would happen if I stopped being scared and actually believed in myself.
