So what does one do on the day their very first book launches into the universe? Here’s a list so you can see how incredibly *unusual* today really is.
In order, I…
- Got kids up and ready for school.
- Picked up extra kid to take to school.
- Did the social media thing.
- Picked up older kid and another extra kid from 1/2 day of school.
- Cleaned multiple litter pans (we’re fostering, so it’s more than just my own cats).
- Cleaned yard of dog poop. (Exciting, right?)
- Mowed the lawn.
- Did the social media thing.
- Picked up younger kid from school.
- Took kids to dance class.
- Wrote words.
- Did the social media thing.
- Dinner. (Cooking? Not today, Satan.)
And if we’re really in the mood to celebrate this evening, we just might go for cupcakes… I’ll keep you posted.
My point? My dear friends, launch days aren’t really any different than any other day. There’s still plenty of poop to clean up and lots of words to write.
But am I celebrating anyway? Yes. Yes, I am.
9:28 p.m. update: Celebratory gourmet cupcakes were had. They were prettier before they were accidentally smashed by 13 y.o. in the car. Tasted yummy anyway.
