I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I last posted! Two freakin’ weeks…how did that even happen? 0__0
Well, I’m back readers, and I sincerely hope you are still with me! Today, I wanted to share a video I found a long time ago when I was doing research for NINJA GIRL. It’s totally awesome imo, and it’s Bruce Lee in a nutshell–so of course, Snow would love it :). I do, too, and I hope you will as well.
While I’ve been editing my next book to be released and writing a new book, feeling all of the feels, doubting myself at every turn, I can honestly say I wish I was more like Bruce, more like Snow. I try to be water. Whenever new situations or challenges present themselves, I try to go with the flow, roll with the punches. I don’t always succeed…but that doesn’t stop me from trying.
My next YA book will be different than my first two releases–completely new characters, not as fluffy (though still lots of laughs)–and I’m very nervous (see: terrified) about that. And I actually wrote it before ADORKABLE, though it’s been through huge revisions since then. Note to self: The writer-ly fears do not go away after you release a book. They remain, hang around and sneak up on you when you least expect it. I’m also organizing an event for a very good cause, a cause that I care deeply about, and so far? I’ve only gotten one response. Ugggggh…
And yet! I refuse to give up. I’m going to be water, my friends. And it is my hope, no matter what you’re dealing with in your life, that you can be, too <3.
Happy reading,
Cookie O’Gorman
I am so excited to read tidbits about your new projects. I love your first two books and I am certain your next two will be great! Our library system in Worthington, Ohio ordered two copies of your book. One is checked out, but hopefully, I can get you that shelf pic of the other soon.
Oh Karen, thank you so much for this comment! That is awesome to hear about the library books, makes it seem more real at least to me :). And I am so glad that you liked ADORKABLE and NINJA GIRL; that is wonderful <3. Thank you again, and I hope you have such a great day!
