I Hope You Can All Come to My Book Signing!

Oh, well I don't actually have a book signing date yet.

Or a book deal.

Or a book for that matter.

But I have the subject and a ton of notes. So that's something. And last week I started to write. Two pages in and I am feeling good. Borders, make room on that new release shelf.

Now I know that every blogger and their mother is writing a book right now. And most of them have actual publishers and everything. So I am realistic to the fact that it may never happen.

And I do own this book. And I hope that one day I'll actually get a chance to read it.

But this has been something that I have wanted to do forever. And like most things, I start but then stop because I am afraid of failure.

I don't like to consider myself a quitter, but when it comes to writing I am afraid I won't stack up. I have so many ideas floating around in my head, but they never quite make it to paper.

My husband was just telling me about some book about A-Rod that only sold 16,000 copies and I was like "wow!" And he was like "no, that's bad." And I was like "oh."

And yes, I know not to overuse the work "like" in my book.

But here I go. Like many, many, many before me, I am taking the leap. I just hope I don't fall...or quit.

In the meantime, while I shower I will continue to practice my interview with Today Show's Matt Lauer.

I have no publishers or agents or any of that stuff either.

I just want to write it.

And am a little overwhelmed at the idea that EVERYONE ELSE is already doing it, too.

Good for you! But let me tell you something: If you get anywhere near Matt Lauer, I will be on set with you. Forget Bill, remember me. He is my TV husband and I will not watch from home!
