Sending strength, solidarity and calming thoughts to all my fellow debut writers currently fretting their way up to their launch days too. All suggestions for coping mechanisms gratefully received. 😬

736 followers · 1821 posts · Server hcommons.socialI'm wondering if maybe the #debutauthor tag for me is a bit misleading given it's my debut *novel but I've already had 26 short stories published (and a good chunk of that professional), with translations and reprints. Is there a #debutnovelist hashtag?

I'm also having kittens about formatting, chapter headers and copyright info pages.

735 followers · 1816 posts · Server hcommons.socialPretty exhausted today but plugging away at Part III of Watermyth. Had a nightmare (actual!) earlier of Watermyth getting slammed with bad reviews of the malicious kinds. Had to calm myself down when I woke up with a "forget about it, even if they happen, they don't define you or your book". Well, anyway, I guess good motivation for even more careful copy-edits.

I also started my day listening to Donovan's Atlantis 😉

Even if there’s a hot little fan whirring somewhere in my chest whenever I’m asked to do something in public, it’s no reason to say no. (And maybe see you at AWP?)
Some thoughts on public events from a slightly backward, backwoods introvert:

I'll share it much later when I have more marbles and once I've paid the very hardworking and frighteningly talented @jkcheney
I pass out --- or try to pass out again -- now.
fml have to go get bloodwork done in a few hours. This week is so messed up and so am I soblol

728 followers · 1684 posts · Server hcommons.socialI didn't ask many people to read/blurb WATERMYTH because I prioritized quality over quantity. I only asked people whom I thought *might* understand what I was trying to do, given it's a very liminal and interstitial novel perched between time, between cultures, and more dangerously, between genres.

First up! Another gorgeous blurb for WATERMYTH happened earlier and I'm going to post both of them here.
Thank you sooo much to @nassos and @lsjohnson for this. I needed to read these blurbs so badly after such a long solitary journey of 13 years, crafting the worlds in the novel.

Sounds pretty straightforward. Onwards, then! #makingbook #debutauthor
