F³A: Tired, can't think

I'm spent. I've been working at promoting this book, I'm revising another, and yet I've started another.

I'm tired.

I can't wake up in the morning.

I'm excited beyond belief, but there is part of me that longs for the hype to be over.

Because I'm tired. Did I mention that?

Wanted to share a couple articles that came out in my local weekly and daily papers.

I know I've already done this, but I want to thank you all for your support. This was a really long, long journey, and I don't know if you know how much your friendship and support means to me.

This experience is not one to be gone through alone. It's exciting yes, but it's frustrating, depressing, and annoying at times. You need people celebrating with you, commiserating with you, lifting you up when you fall down. That's you. Whether you're a fellow writer, a reader, blogger, family member or friend, you mean so much to me.

Thank you I would not have made it through without you. (I'm seriously getting choked up right now. Damn you!)

Movie of the week: Bridesmaids. It makes me laugh so hard, especially the bridal shop and airplane scenes. "You’re more beautiful than Cinderella, you smell like pine needles and your face is like sunshine."

Quote of the week: "I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise of ordinary people living ordinary lives." ~Tracy Chapman
