Monday is almost over. Tomorrow is Tuesday, March 1st, which makes it the official release date for Late Eclipses [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy], the fourth of the adventures of October "Toby" Daye. This is the first book that wasn't part of my original contract. I'm excited and I'm terrified and I'm really grateful that you haven't all thrown things at me for doing this countdown. And now, for our last entry, I give you one big thing I learned from Late Eclipses.
You can always get better.
Every time you think you've already reached the bottom of the well, that you've found all your frog princes and golden balls, you can dive a little deeper, scrape away a little more of the muck, and find your way to another clear, cool spring. Every time you think "that's it, my best work is behind me," you can stretch a little further, and you can find something you didn't know that you were capable of.
Faith and trust and pixie dust will get you a long way. Work and dreams and testing seams will get you even further.
Amazon UK delivered mine yesterday -- while still telling me "Might be April, guv, if yer lucky" on the website. It would really help if they would just talk to themself (then again I talk to myself a lot and that just gets me strange looks)...
