Yesterday I went and rode the Van Fleet Trail. It is one of my favorite trails. Some people find it boring, so very straight and not a single hill. But it goes through the Green Swamp. So we get to see wildlife.
Yesterday I saw a wild turkey and three very LARGE otter. I rode with a trike group that was visiting our area. There were two velo-mobiles riding with us.
I AM FEELING CELEBRITY
I got a poem from Kathie Heimsoth, my neighbor and fellow author. She framed it for me.
Last week Heather that takes pictures for the trail newsletter was out with her camera. Then I got my picture on the Withlacoochee Trail facebook page! I love the picture.
GOOD FEEDBACK
And I have to share this news. So excited to get good feedback on my book. The book club in my neighborhood chose my book for their April book to read and discuss. I gave them two copies to pass around. One of the guys wrote me an email today and said, "I am reading your book and I can't put it down."
What a lovely thing to say.
I feel driven. Even though I published this book just to publish it, now I am so anxious and excited to get it into the hands of people who will enjoy it and/or benefit from it that I can't relax. Even when I was on the Van Fleet I wanted to turn around and come home and work on promotion, perfection.
When I uploaded the kindle version I found the pictures got real small. So now, I have to go through picture by picture on my computer and then go through the kindle uploading process again. Lots of work.
MY CELL PHONE
In the meantime my cell phone went dead. I think I bought it in August! Already I have had it in for repair once and now again it does (fell out of my pocket and it rained). So I ordered a new one. I did not know that I HAVE TO BE HOME to get the delivery. The shipper, Tracfone, won't let me sign ahead of time, or sign on line, or even go to the Fed Ex place and pick it up. ARG!
In the meantime I have not text, no cell phone, no way of picking up my messages. I feel my reputation is at stake. Not able to respond in a timely manner. I lost one airport transportation gig because I didn't have a cell phone.
TODAY
I am going to the library. They are video-taping local authors for a kind of "meet the author" video project they are doing. If they put it online I will share it with you, or not... depending on how much I mess up.
