Happy Six Month Anniversary, Readers!
That's right. It has been six months since I released Dancing Daisies to the world. Considering that it was my first book and I self published it, I couldn't be happier with its success. The love. The support. The feedback. It's all more than I could have asked for! I can only hope the love, and the support, and the feedback continues to grow from here!
Thank you, everyone, for supporting me!
Update on the second book. I have written the beginning. However. How do I want to say this? The second book might become the third book, and I might start a "new second." Without giving too much away, what I was writing about might come off as a little controversial to some people. I want to write about this concept, and, in a way, I need to write about this concept, but not just yet. I just need readers to get to know Brynn more, get to know my writing style, and know that I really don't want it to be offensive. And besides, I think this "new" second book is going to be cool, insightful, and . . . just cool.
Maybe I will have the first draft done by December 6th!
Ha.
I don't know why I set such unrealistic deadlines.
A little about what I have been doing in the past month. I attended a Summit with all different organizations that help people with disabilities. I went to spread the word about my book and my presentations, but I ended up doing some really great networking. I am going to get involved with CHANGE, a program at Children's Hospital that encourages young people to be more involved with their health care decisions. A nurse from another agency is also interested in teaming up with me to do some presentations to parents. Needless to say, I'm so glad I could make it to the Summit!
I had the privilege of doing a presentation at Harvard. I'm sorry. I have to type that again. I had the privilege of doing a presentation at Harvard. About music. Not only did I get to talk about what music does for me, I actually co-wrote a song with a student. Their choir performed it along with another choir for people with disabilities. You want to talk about an incredible feeling? Hearing seventy voices come together to sing a song you helped created. Incredible.
I will post the videos when I have them.
Lastly, I went to talk at my old high school about creative writing. Except it wasn't my old high school, because they built a new high school. So that was weird. And I was a little nervous, because I had never presented about writing before. But my presentation was okay. I wish I had more time to answer more of the students' questions. The bell rang and I had to stop mid sentence. I felt bad. It was still fun, though!
Again, I just want to say thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I have a pretty interesting summer ahead of me, so stay tuned!
