...must be precise, which is why it's already taken me two years to write. It must give justice to Odin's words. Not to Odin. Just to his words.
...Do you also understand that I'm taking on the task of truly illustrating the experience of living at Seville Manor with goddesses Skye, Lumina, Michelle, and me. Phew.
...the book right now is 319 pages long. As of Friday at 1:00 a.m. after an eight hour writing-in-the-zone session, I'm editing page 26.
This is seriously insane. What am I thinking!?
I'll tell you exactly what I'm thinking.
I'm scared that Odin won't like it.
I'm scared that you won't like it.
I guess that will be ok. Sometimes I hate it.
(Imagine me sitting on my bed with a laptop, writing.) All of a sudden I start talking to myself and explode,
"This is such a stupid chick flick movie!"
Then in another paragraph:
"Blah! blah blah blah! Who wrote this!?"
Finally I can't take it anymore:
"Ah! Gross, this is making me sick."
(Which leads me to the kitchen for some tea or toast or something that doesn't have syrup or sugar.)
I'm scared that when I send the manuscript to Odin, he's going to send me an email telling me I need to change his name for confidentiality purposes.
That will be a bad day, and I will weep.
This, you may not know, is vulnerable for me to share with you. You are the potential readers of this book. Somehow I feel I need to take care of that by promoting it, not tearing it down!
I have no answer. This is what's real.

Just how am I going to be able to get my hands on this book? Will it be at Barnes and Noble? Are you just publishing it to publish it and have a few copies or will you try and get it in stores as well. You never know it could be a best seller. How about trying more with the CD as well?

Can I do some of the voice acting when it's time for "The Muse" to be a book on tape?
this book will be available for purchase through barnes and noble and amazon.com. It's a guaranteed part of the packaged deal if I go through my self-publishing agent, Phil.
Chef, you are most certainly first in line to play the part of Odin for the book on tape.
