Kind of still wrapping my mind around the not-so-randonmess of recent days past. I gave my first review and made my first ever blog post, which is a huge stepping stone for me. And although my journey is very much in its infancy, the step is one I intend to follow in the direction of my ever expanding dreams and purpose.
To say that the out-of-this-realm possibilities that subsequently resulted from one little review have been amazing; unbelievable; mind-boggling, is a complete understatement.
My review garnered some very interesting attention. Namely, from the author herself; Tarryn Fisher, author and genius-brain behind Mud Vein and the Love Me With Lies Series. She is my overlord and reigns eternal as the Evil Queen of the deceptively dark and torturous literary Wonderland I exist in.
I hadn’t realized the door I was opening when I began reading Mud Vein, but I can say, wholeheartedly that there is no turning back now.
I’ve wandered into a mental death match with people who’ve come prepared to fight to the very last drop of intellectual ichor. Persons I was not at all expecting to connect with and move with. They have pulled me into the fray and I’m anxious, eager even, to battle it out and claim victory. Mostly because I feel as if everyone will win.
We all stand to gain from this literary journey. Take from it what you will. I choose to soak it all up, devour every last morsel that is laid before me. I feel like a tyrant, poised to overthrow any and all who stand in my way, but I digress. Heehee. (I have an evil lady in my head).
Any who, I also won a book yesterday in a giveaway. This is the second time in less than a month that I’ve won anything; ever; and they’ve both been books! How righteous is that! Books are my drug of choice and these crafty chemist of the bookish variety are my pushers. 🙂
Thank you to Jovana Shirley over at Unforeseen Editing. I’m really looking forward to reading Breaking Alexandria by K.A. Robinson.
I have also been given the opportunity to beta read which is new and fun and scary, and a whole slew of other emotions that I can’t convey at this moment. It is sure to prove worthwhile for myself, and universal fingers crossed, for the author as well.
Now, even though I am over the moon knowing that my review moved others (anyone to be honest), my luck at winning a book, and being presented with the opportunity to aide in someone’s success, it still doesn’t highlight the best part of the past few days.
Megan Simpson, my newest literary ladylove and purveyor of Reading Books Like A Boss found me and gave me some serious mojo. I don’t even know if she realizes how much her friendship and encouragement means to me at this point. Sometimes you just know, huh. ❤
