Thank goodness I'm not as bad at remembering my wedding anniversary as I am with my book anniversaries. I recently realized that I've been an author for more than ten years (how did that happen??), and when I looked back at the publishing date for my first novel, George and the Galactic Games, I confirmed it to be true since it was released on November 10, 2011.
Before George and the Galactic Games, I had written short stories here and there and made a few attempts at writing a novel, but none of them went anywhere. At the start of 2010, I made a New Year's resolution to seriously focus on writing, and in 2011, I resolved to complete a novel. Somehow, I stuck with my plans, and the end result was George and the Galactic Games. The novel holds a special place in my heart. Not only was it my first novel, but it was a story that had been brewing inside me and wanted to be told, and I'm glad I was finally able to share it. Writing the book also showed me that I could complete a novel, and it paved the way for eight more novels in the following years, with a ninth hopefully ready for release in a month or two.
Happy belated 10-year anniversary to George and the Galactic Games!
