Here’s the day I’ve been waiting for: I’m finally writing my first post because my busybody, perfectionist self is finally satisfied that my blog is good enough to start inviting people to view it. Plus, I’m in the mist of putting together my first reading/book signing at Esquina Tango on Feb. 13th, which is not as far away as it seems. This has been an exciting process that actually started seven years ago when I dreamed of the first line of Tribe of One: “Life would be so much easier if I was not a gay white man trapped in a black woman’s body.” I woke up and immediately wrote that line down. Now, I’m a self-published author, launched a blog and about to have my first one-woman show to promote my writing.
Not only did I have a tremendous sense of accomplishment seeing my book in print, but felt that 2011 would be a year with many different opportunities. One of the best things about living through the uncertain financial times of a recession is that I am motivated to pursue different interests that I may not have previously done. I figured out a few months ago that I had all the resources I needed to be happy and successful since I am not a one-trick pony! When the situation changes, I have enough varied interests, skills and hobbies to nurture, adapt and eventually land solidly on my feet.
