Good morning, local Travellers! And good [insert time of day] unto ye others. 

Reminder that in about 20 min (8:30 EST) I’ll be taking questions on Twitter with the hashtag #TheTravellersCup. I’ll be sticking around for about two hours to answer whatever I can about writing and the book in 140 chars or less. 

I foresee no greater pleasure than to exchange Tweets with you. 

Your coffee-fueled captain,

Hello and Happy Friday! 

I hope that you all are doing well, and that you’ve had a lovely week. The wheels have been set in motion to make "How to Get Run Over by a Truck" a real live book! It is so exciting to see how the whole book making machine works.  

Everyone at Inkshares has been absolutely phenomenal to work with - it has been SUCH a joy! I have had great conversations about the cover design, the editing process and also how we’ll be marketing the book. It is all really interesting, and has been a great process to watch and be a part of! I will keep you all in the loop as I get more and more information. 

I also had the honor of being interviewed by the Inkshares blog this past week. In the interview we talk about what inspired me to write the memoir, what was the most difficult chapter to write and most importantly - what I wanted to say to my funders (that’s you!). If you have a moment, I would love it if you gave it a read.

Thanks so much for your support, and for taking the time to read this update. I hope that you all have beautiful weekends!

Heart,

Please check out my new snippet, ’Mr Rodgers.’ I promise, absolutely and utterly guarantee, that you will love it. It’s bloody brilliant. And once you’ve finished, please share it with as many other people as you can.

Sorry for sounding so obnoxious, but I don’t mean to be. I’ve come to understand one of my weaknesses, which is sometimes a strength, and that is that I’m often ruled by my emotions, and when I’m feeling good, I have to let everyone know.

I happened to be reading through my book, and fell in love with it again - which is a good thing as I’d almost given up on it and began to think it a steaming pile of manure - and on the spur of the moment, felt I had to share this particular sample.
