Two years ago today I started this little blog.
I never, ever thought anyone would read it.
Oddly? People read it.
Then some more people read it.
So that was pretty cool.
And you know what else?
A lot of the people who read it are cool.
And you know what the cool people said?
They said crap like, "We believe in you Stephanie". "We think you're awesome Stephanie". "You could totally write a book Stephanie". "Stop saying douchenozzle so much Stephanie".
Okay, the last one isn't true, but the other ones are.
So after a while? I listened.
And a few months ago I told you guys about this little book I was writing. Remember?
So on Monday? With trembling hands I mailed the signed contract for that book back to the publisher that loves it and wants it and wants me to start writing the sequel like, right now.
I sold my book you guys.
I! SOLD! MAH! BOOK!
Thank you. For the love of God. Thank you for believing I could.
