Well Wishers,

Thank you.

Thank you for buying me a potted plant.  Thank you for the kiss on the forehead.  Thank you for telling me “I love you, Gorgeous.”  Thank you for listening.  Thank you for trying to understand.  Thank you for pretending to understand.  Thank you for getting on my nerves.  Thank you for egging me on.   Thank you for reminding me I owe you a book.  Thank you for wanting to publish through my yet-to-exist press.  Thank you for your faith that bolsters mine when it wanes.

Thank you for believing that my writing is no big surprise.

With gratitude,
