The sun sets on another day…
Sunset came fast and was smothered by the darkness of clouds and mist. The morning had been impossibly foggy, so it made sense that the sunset would be obscured. Still, high above was beauty, and as always, I admired the time.
I don’t needed some books to a book club today. I do that from time to time when I find people that inspire me in one way or another or who are incredibly special in one way or another. I’m not getting rich off of being an author, yet. ( I pause here for just a moment and take a breath and ask if you have read my books and hope that if you haven’t you do) since I’m not getting rich, I often see merit in getting my work out.
That has nothing to do with the purpose of this post except for the fact that I sat down and decided to sign the nine books. When I am at shows I try to tailor the inscription to the person in front of me. Lots of people just sign the book and go on but I want to put something that makes sense and might get remembered. As I sat down I realized I only knew one person, but I also knew one person giving me a little insight into the group, just maybe.
So I wrote.
Inscriptions ranged from the mundane silliness about being super or focus on the positives to some rather inspired items including discussions about finding your inner monster or statements about how monsters are real. It turned out to be a lot of fun and as I completed the task I felt it might be a fun little laugh for the group to compare their inscriptions.
The question of the day is, did that mean anything? Does it mean anything when someone personalizes what they give you so that you feel special? Does it point out the positives or does it not really matter when you make a personalized gift?
For me I would like to think it does as many of the things on my trinket shelves are focused on the personalization of situations, feelings, or a little more.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you have something special too. I hope someone gives you something that makes you feel good about yourself or better. I hope you all have read all of my books and even though it won’t make me Rich perhaps it’ll just be some encouragement for me as well. In the end I will find a way and I hope you do too, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and hold on to your inner monster…
