Feeling very grateful for things…
The last ten days have brought a lot of good news. First the call from Steel Toe Books that after 24 months (almost exactly to the day) of sending out my MS, Becoming the Villainess will really be a real live book next spring, complete with little Kentucky-oriented book tour. Then my husband found out he had been promoted at work, then my “blood doctor” called with the news that, after six months of testing, they finally, in the latest set of blood tests, had pinpointed my bleeding disorder and have suggested treatment for it. I won’t know the results or treatment til i visit the research center on Thursday, but still, this is very good news for me and my veins which have been having weekly draws for months now and were starting to complain.
So, on top of all this, this morning I wake up and read The Pedestal Magazine’s newsletter, and low and behold, they’ve done a review of my chapbook, Female Comic Book Superheroes. What nice news to start the day with!
Needless to say, I am ready to be nice to random old ladies, give to charity, and otherwise follow the grateful, happy poet path. And, you readers, have also made my life better by being so encouraging all the way. I owe everyone cake. So when you see me, demand cake. Or a hug. Frankly, I’m just feeling disgustingly wonderful towards everyone I meet.
