I think I’m cool.
Now, I know I’m getting up there in the years, I even found a few gray hairs yesterday and didn’t know what to think (except I’d like to get my roots done) but I think I’m cool.
I wasn’t cool in high school. Or junior high. Or elementary school. At all. I don’t even know if I was cool in University. Actually, I don’t think I was. But AFTER all of school, I think I was cool. Wait, what was my point? I’m starting to get vain here.
Oh yes. Last night I was a little grouchy and was driving to a Thing. Actually the Thing was my friend Barb’s mini-concert. This is where I’m supposed to high-lite Barb’s name so that you can click on it and get routed to her site. Of course I have no idea how to do that. So just go to www.barbglennie.com and you can read about her awesome music and whatnot.
So I was driving there and decided to put on very loud music and open the sunroof (moonroof?) and just blare it. And of course all my music is from awhile ago given I really don’t like the rap now, nor do I like the teenage bubblegum pop now either. So as I was driving I was remembering what life was like in my 20′s (yes, I was not cool until 20 or so, maybe 19 when I failed University and worked at a bar to fund my rent?) and life was interesting then.
Ok, now I don’t remember my point. Nevermind.
Anyway, updates on the book!
-still waiting for contract in the mail. Am I allowed to say I’m writing another book? I have no idea. If not, then please forget everything I just said and do not look for books in the future written by Jenn Kelly.
-it looks I no longer need to stress about my launch party. I was getting a little freaked out because while I need a ton of people there so I can get the word out and make money, I only have so much money to provide a site and food etc. Sooooo… my brilliant genius editor Kathleen said to get her the name and email of manager at Chapters (where I wrote my book) and Zondervan would contact him and tell him we need to launch this sucker and make it awesome! So I’m very happy. Book launch at Chapters at some determined date and time and there will be a private party afterwards or at a different time. Yay!
-writing is going well! I had lost a file (can I just say that I did save it, twice and it just disappeared and no I’m not crazy?) and of course I couldn’t remember what I had written down (why would I? I wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget!) but then I was able to write brilliant things about squirrels later on that just tickled me pink.
-why am I writing about squirrels? Er.. can’t tell you.
