I highly doubt that it – or you – "completely stink". I just read the Amazon thingy on it and I can't wait to read it! I gotta say that at this moment, you are my hero. I absolutely mean that. I totally understand being scared to put yourself (or any creative expression of yourself) "out there". But you did it! You not only had the idea, but you completed it and published it! You totally rock! Woo Hoo!!!

How exciting to actually have the book in your hands. It must be a good feeling. I'm sorry your insecurities are marring the moment. I can relate. That's why I've never finished any of the books I've begun. Now THAT'S sad. I even quit blogging because I realized that my parents were reading some of my deepest thoughts. (Not ready for that! Lots of growing up to do, here!) Don't beat yourself up for being human, give yourself a pat on the back for being persistent and for pursuing your dream. Oh, Kelsey!

A worthy occasion for an extended soak, for sure. So sorry about the Crisco, though. Good thing to know. Can't remember the last time the Jubilant household was quiet enough for a luxurious bath. Something to wish for, I guess. Congratulations! A worthy occasion for an extended soak, for sure. So sorry about the Crisco, though. Good thing to know.

I'm so glad it's out. As soon as I can, I plan on buying a copy, and I'll blog about it. That'll help publicize. Don't worry, I was (and still am) that shy kid that never did show and tell either. Writing a book is a great accomplishment though, and you have already made the biggest step in sharing a piece of yourself. This part is small potatoes. How exciting! I’m so glad it’s out.

But if I’m really being honest with you, I’m quite afraid that this was all some sort of mistake and it - and I - completely stink. I keep remembering a time in elementary when I was sooo excited about Show and Tell. I was a VERY shy kid, but for some reason I was excited that day about whatever I’d brought. And when it was finally my turn, I changed my mind and told myself that what I’d brought really wasn’t that great after all, and that no one would be interested in it.
