Thrilled to share that Starry Messenger hit the New York Times bestseller list today at #3. Being a Jewish mother, I’m wondering why not #2 or #1. I can’t stop pushing. Nothing is ever enough. Is there extra credit? Will I ever be good enough? Thin enough? Smart enough? Rich enough? Rough enough? I celebrated with two pieces of pizza and a DIet Pepsi. Start spreading the news: I KNOW HOW TO LIVE. I might vacuum a little later. Or if I’m really living large, Q-TIp.

After any success (like getting the grass cut, painting the foundation of the house, or doing everything I need to do in town in one trip) I wish for a shower, clean sheets, and a nap and I end up deciding what’s for supper and then cooking it, eating it, and cleaning up after it. Such is life…
How do you celebrate a writing success ?
I spread the word, then share the words, while wondering why I spent so much time writing what I’m not good at.
“How do you celebrate a writing success?”
I post about it on social media, then I get back to work.
Congratulations, Betsy.

Congratulations to you, your author on that! Wow. It’s not easy these days to get there.
I don’t do much. I like reveling in it, internally. I like waking up and remembering it happened. All good enough for me. Your pizza and Diet Coke – well except the Diet Coke – sounds just about right for me, too.
Haagen Das, preferably chocolate. Call friends.
