Let's Do This

So I've been tweeting. It's...weird. I made fun of Twitter when it came out. I still make fun of it a little. I've got a snarky streak (well, ok, I've got a non-snarky streak, running through a personality made up mainly of snark), so making fun of things comes naturally to me.

Anyway, tweeting. I was wrong, Internet. And you were right. Twitter is actually pretty cool. I have had conversations with people who are writing cool stuff. People who have done what I thus far have only rarely had the chutzpah to do:  put their writing somewhere where people can read it.

I hate being scared. I hate admitting I'm scared even more. But I am. I'm scared to tell you about my book. I'm scared to offer it up to you and say "I wrote this." I am so tempted to throw it out there under a pen name and then tweet/blog/facebook about how "my friend wrote this and you should check it out."

But I won't. If someone else has the guts to do this, so do I, dammit.

So what's my book about? Well, it's your classic girl meets boy, boy takes over the world using telecommunication technology, and chaos ensues kind of thing. And it's coming this summer.

There. I said it. Oh crap, what have I done.
