Signing a book publishing contract is cool and weird simultaneously.

Cool because it’s signed – this is a big deal if it’s never been done before.

Weird because reality smacks you in the face when all along you thought you were friends.

Reality begs, “What do you want people to feel when they finish reading?”:

Something so unexpected, so inexplicable that we are in awe of what just happened

Similar to a wakeup call, but less severe.

And friendlier.

PS. And that they are willing, even eager, to hear more in the next book.

The worst thing that has happened is the best thing that has happened.

Our midlife crisis wake up call brings us to our knees – the worst thing to ever happen to us.

Our midlife crisis response contains the best thing that has ever happened to us.

Accepting personal responsibility is the start.

In all five of life’s big choices.

Also overcame the fear of sending a digital copy of the book to a copy editor.

These things always seemed easy from a distance.
