Am I excited or depressed?

This has been an interesting few days as I go from euphoric excitement to almost total depression. I haven't heard from my editor lately so I figure this is it, she is looking more closely at my book and given up. I also have been browsing other writer's websites to get ideas for my own and a feeling of inadequacy often comes over me. Can I really put myself even close to their league? To top it all off, I hit writers block; I could not figure out what to say on my own website.

You will be happy to know my feeling of euphoric excitement is back - at least for the moment. My writers block is over; I now have what I feel are some pretty witty words to promote me and my book for my website. I think I'll call my editor now, to make sure she is still alive as maybe that is why I have not heard form her. If depression returns, I figure I'll just hit the beach for awhile; after all, that is why I moved to Playa del Carmen. The beach sounds good.

The book adventure begins

I have now finished my book about the lighter side of living in Mexico - well, finished until my editor reviews it. It is about the adventures that I, my husband and our two children have had since packing our bags and moving from Canada to Mexico just over 4 years ago. It contains some very personal thoughts and feelings; now, people are going to review and critique it as they actually read it! Talk about baring your soul! Oh well, I am tough - I think - maybe. I did, after all, write it with the intention people will actually read it. If it helps some people with their own transitions and makes others smile or even laugh I will be happy. If it sells a million copies I will be ecstatic. I am sure many Mexicans look at us already and say "silly gringos" and shake their heads.

It feels like a very good day today as I have just choosen website names and have hired the man who will bring my site to life. I'll keep you posted.
