Thursday Thirteen #22

I got my book cover yesterday!! I’m still in awe. :) I thought I’d do a fun Thursday Thirteen this week as a result.

Thirteen Things I did when I saw my cover.
1. Jaw Dropped. You’d think I’d learn to stop checking my home email at work. People are going to start wondering about me.

2. Squealed!. More internal mental squealing until I could get into my car after work. I think there was stilll some shock going on.

3. Closed the file quickly. As I said, I was teaching a class and we were on a break. I didn’t want to scare the new hires. :)

4. Showed my husband. The second I got home I showed him. He was really impressed with it. I wish I hadn’t been so tired or I would have been a lot more enthusiastic. Teaching for eight hours straight is tiring.

5. Posted it on my RWA chapter site. The ladies of my chapter are really supportive and I wanted to share my excitemet with them.

6. Emailed Wylie, Amy, and Vicky. I wanted my three best cyber friends to get a first look at it. Hugs to all of you!

7. Keep opening it to look. Again, I think this is shock. I have to say when I got it, I think it finally sunk in that I’m in the process of publishing my first book. Crazy.

8. Try to figure out who I can show at work. There are some people who I really want to see it. There are some who I’d scare. :)

9. Email my Dad. At work…I love to bug him. Plus he’s retiring in two months so I don’t have many more chances. :)

10. Get nervous. It really has sunk in that my book will be coming out soon. I hope it goes over well.

11. Read the first chapter of Bonds. Seeing the cover inspired me to take a look at the first chapter again. I want to make sure it “feels” like the cover. The story is sci-fi and the cover really isn’t. However, I hope it won’t prevent people from reading it.

12. Squeal again. I got my cover!!!

13. Try and think of a way to work this into a TT list. :D
