At this point, I began to think of myself as a writer. However, it was tough to actually make time for writing and all the marketing and other business that goes along with it.
Sorry this is late: as I went to post it, there was a muffled crash and the electricity went out. A car crashed into a nearby utility pole. According to people on the scene, no one was seriously injured, but our electricity is still out more than twelve hours later. Good time to work at the coffee shop!
