You are totally adorable and that brother of yours can find a way to kick his own groin! Your writer friends especially adore you; we understand all the doubt that comes with writing and are truly exhilarated to learn about the many promising turns in your novel’s coming publication. You are our hero! You are humble, genuine, and so talented. I very much enjoy reading your substack.
I really appreciate your honesty in this post. Congrats on the great review! Getting even more excited to read the book. And this: "Those of us raised on farms or in the Midwest have always been reminded of the dangers of getting too confident, too full of ourselves, and sometimes that can make us feel afraid to enjoy the good things that are happening." As one raised by one of those raised on a farm in the Midwest (Michigan, no less!) I can still relate to this!
I never would have taken you for an anxious worrier, Bonnie. But that review was great, wasn't it? The Greek chorus -- yes! And I am SO looking forward to having your books in my bookstore SOON!
