Telling Tales.
The book my writers group has been working on to publish, is.
We had our celebration/launch today. All but one of the contributors made it, plus guests. And after a few speeches each of us was handed our copies to the book.
Although I'd seen the inside of the book many times, this was the first time I'd seen the printed, bound copy. It was exciting, even if we did self-publish.
But I have discovered one disappointment. Whilst eveyone else was saying how they would read it over the Christmas break, I can't - well I could, but I've read every story at least 5 times already.
Instead, the four of us who have put it together are going to have a little competition. Randomly take a sentence from a story and see who can match the author to it, for extra points we can name the story, and state breifly what its about.
Should be fun.
It feels good to have a book in my hands with my name in it. Can't wait to have a book published by someone else, with my name in it.
But to do taht I need to write more.
