Philosophical Monday: Three More Months

bettysantamariaSo the funny thing about having a book come out on the same day as your baby’s birthday is that they kind of get entwined. This morning I woke up thinking, “Three More Months…”

Three more months until Betty turns one. Three More Months until 32 CANDLES makes its debut.

Re: 32 CANDLES, I’m feeling a little pregnant again. I’m scared, unable to sleep well, desperately trying to learn as much as I can about raising a book before the due date.

32CandlesCoverThe nightmares are off the hook. I spent last night getting chased around by body-snatching aliens. The night before that I woke up at 3 am in the morning from a nightmare I thought was real, but turned out to be just another incarnation of general event anxiety that’s been slowly but steadily rebuilding up in my system.

Much like when I was pregnant, I feel like I’m not doing enough to make this book a success. But also like when I was pregnant, I don’t know what else I could be doing, or I would be doing it.

Most of all, much like when I was pregnant, I can’t help but feel that my whole life is about to change. But I don’t know exactly how yet.

Three More Months….
