It’s a blur, but I think I said something like, “it’s important to me that everyone who can hear my voice right now knows how grateful I am for your support and for everything you’ve done to help me get here. I thanked everyone for being part of this. Still Just A Geek, one week after publication, is on THREE bestselling lists. Still Just A Geek is on the bestselling indie bookshop list, and it’s on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction list, AND it’s in the top ten on the combined hardcover and ebook nonfiction list. You’ve seen the title of this post, so you know that I was mistaken. I dont’ know what I said or did, but I must have REALLY fucked up. Over the next thirty or so seconds, literally everyone at my publisher announced themselves. I am connecting you to a conference call.” This time, I saw that it was my lit agent. In 2022, few things make me as suspicious as my phone ringing. I leaned my head back, closed my eyes, and did one of those long exhales that starts in your shoulders and rolls down your body. I’m not sure how much, but it was enough for me to start feeling sleepy. I’m taking the rest of this day off for religious observance, and I really hope I can find a nap in there, somewhere.Īfter I posted that, Anne and I had lunch together, and then I went into my gameroom, where I could sit quietly and just … not do anything. … and I am so physically and mentally exhausted. I am content, I am grateful, I am proud of the work I have the privilege to do. I’m also still doing Ready Room, so today is a day that featured me getting up at are you fucking serious o’clock, putting myself together for a webinar I was part of for Microsoft, then going straight to the set, where we did a couple episodes for Strange New Worlds (OH MY GOD I WANT TO TALK ABOUT STRANGE NEW WORLDS SO MUCH IT IS KILLING ME THAT I CAN’T). I haven’t had this much fun doing late nights followed by early mornings since I was in my 20s. It’s a lot, and it’s exhausting, but it’s awesome and I’m grateful for all of it. I’ve been doing these very long days of press and promotion for Still Just A Geek. Yesterday, around noon, I posted on my Facebook:
