Today is a good day. Feeling better than I have in a while. Still not back to were I was, but I’m having a pretty good day. I think the Cymbalta is working. I actually forgot to take two of my 1/2 doses of Klonopin today and I’m not feeling anxious.
For those who don’t know, I have decided to skip the traditional publishing route of finding an agent and publishing house. I have been convinced I can make more money self publishing as a first time author than I would through a traditional publishing house. And if the Egret stories do well, it could lead to a more lucrative traditional publishing deal. I met with an artist last night. She is going to send me some sample drawings and if we can come to terms on a reasonable price, I should have one or two books in print very soon. I’ll update as I know more information.
Also on the Egret front, I set up some audio files of 3 of the early poems. They will be available via streaming on the website or you can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes. Eventually, as we edit, they will all be recorded. They are read by Melissa, so give them a listen.

Wow, how much do I suck to not know you were going through this? I’m really glad you are having your depression treated. Too many do not have the courage to do that and it hurts themselves and their families to watch their loved one struggle. Kudos to you for taking the bull by the horns!
Also, I love, Love, LOVE Egret! You paint such adorable pictures with your poems. Are you friends with _TomMcLaughlin on Twitter? He is also a very talented writer (and artist) of children’s books. (Are they really children’s books when adults love them, too?)
Keep up the good work!
I haven’t been very active on twitter lately, very understandable. Thank you for such kind comments. I hope adults like them too, I try to write stuff that appeals to kids, but that I wouldn’t mind reading myself.
