Writing blog: Confessions of a Wordsmith

February 1, 2012

A great start to the year

Is it really February already? It looks like 2012 is going to fly by the same way 2011 did. Remember to savor moments as the pace of life picks up, so everything isn't just one big race or blur. :) I'm lucky that I've already had some great moments this year, one of which I haven't yet mentioned on my blog.

On New Year's Eve, I was out at the Laugh Factory, ready to ring in 2012 with lots of laughs. At around 10 o'clock, I happened to look at the sales rank for Rock Star's Girl on Amazon, just to see where it would end the year. Imagine my surprise and absolute delight to see that it was on three Amazon US category bestseller lists, including the Women's Fiction bestseller list! It was also on a category bestseller list over at Amazon UK. It stayed on those lists for a few days into the new year, which had me absolutely ecstatic. Thank you to everyone out there who has made this lifelong dream come true. You're all amazing.

This was my company on the Amazon US Women's Fiction Bestseller list on New Year's Day:

I'd be lying if I said that seeing this didn't make me grin from ear to ear. What a way to begin 2012!

And now, a book update for you all: I've been working a lot on my second novel, and the draft of it should be done by mid-March. It's exciting to be at this point in the writing of it. This is the part of the process where I'm not updating Twitter or Facebook as much. I'm checking in once in a while, though, and I'll be back to checking in more often in a few weeks.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful first month of 2012, and that February is also full of love and light.
