So today was a pretty big day for me…
Yep – this was the big secret project that I’ve been focusing on for the last couple of months … I’m finally getting around to publishing my very first book! It’s been really hard to keep quiet about it, but if you want to nitpick, I technically first started this bad boy back in 2003 when I first moved to Florida and little bits got done here and there, and I then procrastinated, and then things all went to shit and I pretty much scrapped the whole thing and started over, so when I finally got around to this latest attempt, it just seemed safer not to jinx it any further than my horrible, horrible work ethic had already managed to over the last 7 years…
Needless to say, though, it feels really, really good to actually have something in my hands to physically represent everything I’ve done with The Humor Column over the last 10 years. I was ridiculously nervous opening up the package when I got home because I really had no idea how my efforts were actually going to turn out in true printed form, but thankfully aside from a couple minor layout adjustments that I’m still debating even doing, I’m very happy with the results!
Anyways, I really just wanted to post the first picture here for posterity’s sake before it gets buried under the depths of Twitter and Facebook, but there will be more to come soon about when it will actually go on sale as well as a little commentary on some of the highs and lows of putting together something like this all by myself.
P.S. Woohoo!!!
