So, if you’ve been reading this page for any length of time, you know I’m writing a book. Now I can officially say, I wrote a book. That sounds like a bigger deal than it is, but it’s my story, and I know my story pretty well. Well…ish, at least.
Now that the humble part is out of the way, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and the best, too. The book covers parts of the last 22 years of my life, and there are some moments in there I’ve never really spoken about, not publicly, at least. There were moments while writing this that I thought the process might kill me. I was sweating, my resting heart rate was over 120, and I felt like I was having a heart attack. That feeling has never slowed me down before, so I just pushed through it. On the other side of that panic attack, and 40-something revisions later, it has less sway over me today.
To the uninitiated, this story is not an easy read. Even if you’re a little familiar with my story, it’s heavy. That being said, I’d like you to read it.
I said when I started this process that I would let everyone here know first, so here is an early link where you can pick up a copy if you’d like, and I truly hope you will.
I’m self-publishing this book, and there are some expenses involved in that process. I’ve kept the price as low as possible since I’m not looking to get rich here. That has never been the goal. I do, however, need to recoup some costs since I’m not rich.
I’ll make an official release next week to everyone, but I really wanted to get this out to those of you who’ve been keeping up with me this long. Please let me know what you think — I really do look forward to hearing from you.
