I know I said I wouldn’t talk (much) about writing here, but I have to show you:
LOOK.
Look at these AMAZING card holders I found at work. 😊 😊 😊
I was grabbing a bottle of water from the break-room and there they were, just sitting there all alone on the counter, abandoned. I checked to make sure they didn’t belong to anybody (even let them sit for a couple hours) but when they were still there at the end of the day, I figured it was safe to call it – and I don’t feel bad AT ALL. These two beauties have inspired me to:
- Get going on my branding, because I want some sweet-ass cards to fill them
- Visualize my table when I finally attend a book expo as an author (gotta put my cards somewhere, right?)
- Realize I might need two different card-holders for a reason (details coming soon!)
So there. That’s it. This post was mostly about me getting a bottle of water from the break-room and then stealing stuff I found nearby. It just happened to be cool, amazing, super-inspiring, career-developing stuff. That I found next to a refrigerator. This is my life.
There are other, more exciting things that are happening, but I’m not at liberty to discuss. Actually, I can—I just don’t want to. Not now. Right now is the time for celebrating people who leave unwanted goods for lower totem-pole employees to grab and keep. And to use for inspiration to one day book a table at an author/writer/book convention/expo.
You know what they say: first come the cardholders. Then come the fans.
P.S. Shut up. They say this. And if they don’t, they will 😉
