Hey Everybody! 🙂
I thought it would be a good idea to give you all a little update about what is going on in April, since this is such a weird, fantastic, sad, crazy, absurd month for me!
Like I told you all in This Post, my PTSD is really trying to kill me this month. (I saw it coming, but for some reason was too stupid to duck lol)
Anyways, those are pretty much my nights now. Lot of nightmares and flashbacks, but at least I sleep! (sort of lol)
If you are not familiar with PTSD, I suggest you take a look at my post about it right HERE, since I noticed that a lot of people I met through WordPress are battling this.
So, that’s for the crazy and sad part, on to the greatness of April! 🙂
Like you may have noticed, I got my first poetry book published! It’s entitled ‘My Wings’ and you can find all the info about it on This Page.
Pretty awesome huh? 🙂 A year ago I wouldn’t even have dared to dream about it lol!
What some of you might not know, is that I also wrote a young adult fantasy novel in Dutch and that one is going to get published on the 14th of April! (you can find the website of the publisher right HERE) Sorry, it’s in Dutch. 😦
It’s entitled ‘Drägan Duma – Zij Die Hoort’ (Drägan Duma – The Listener)
Anyways, I just received my posters for that book and I would like to show it to you guys because they are so AWESOME! 🙂
I am so lucky with my cover artist! You can find him HERE. He’s the best! 🙂 And he speaks English lol!
O, before I forget! My Facebook page is right HERE, come and join me! 🙂
So, I am publishing two books almost at the same time. (what the heck was I thinking? lol) but although it keeps me more than busy, I am enjoying every little bit of it! 🙂
My good friend Phil from http://excuseusforliving.com/ suggested that I might be famous one day.
(I seriously doubt that, I am not ‘famous material’ lol)
But Phil, especially for you, a photo of me practicing my ‘I-am famous-no-photos-please pose! 😉
How did I do Phil? 🙂
Have a lovely day my friends! 🙂
Lots of love,
Patty

WELL!!!!!!!!!! Patty, Wish I had a video of myself just a moment ago reading with interest your good post about what’s going on in your literary world as usual……..UNTIL!!!!!!!!!!!!…….. I don’t know what I looked like, but it felt like my eyes went wide open & an out of body experience…Is this really happening?????? …….Did Patty really write this including me?….And then the photo of you acting out shunning the crowds & paparazzi…..by then I’m laughing & then your closing comment, “How did I do Phil?” You did just great, Patty! You really showed a great sense of humor & of self which speak well of your character unchanged by success but for your energized confidence, encouraged by it all! And to think you are handling all of this so well at your bad April time of year! Maybe the success you have found in your two books is giving balance to those Dark Wings of yours. Another humbling experience for me coming out of just knowing you. Thanks….I think!!! Phil
Hahahaha! Thanks Phil! 🙂
I thought it would make you laugh! A smile a day keeps the sorrow away. 🙂
I am blessed to have friends like you who support me through this all and I will let you know that as well!
Love & Hugz ❤

I am stunned by a few things…your talent is magnificent. Your dealing honestly with PTSD is a brave thing to watch, in that you share your life with others, helping them in the process. Your beauty, that smile….amazing. Good luck with your book. Namaste.
Thank you so much for those amazing compliments my friend!
You have brightened my day! 🙂
I really hope that my posts about PTSD can be of any support. If only one person finds something in them they can use, I am really happy.
Lots of love and hugz
Namaste.

A “Just Patty” awesome update!! Check it out!!
Dearest Patty!! April will always be bittersweet for you now. Two big opposing events will be intertwined in April … the reasons for your PTSD & the awesome publishing of two books …. a culmination of your dreams. See how life works? A bad one then a good one.
If you see it way, it may help. I sure hope you do!!
The “no photos please” pose is great!!
All my love and wish for gear success!!

Sorry about the PTSD – can relate, although my symptoms are low now. Also, congratulations on your recent accomplishments!

I am sorry that you can relate. It really is hell sometimes.

That helps a bunch.
