D: "
"Through Unfamiliar Waters" second edition is published. Yay!"

One of the tips re: bragging, is track who cares and limit your good news to those people. I care, this list cares, so, Double Yay on getting this project into the world.

Aside: The current Brag I'm sitting with is the "Expertease Brag." I'm so guilty because I'm about to do it.

Getting this DONE and launched reminds me of Billy Collins's

Envoy

Go, little book,
out of this house and into the world.

carriage made of paper rolling toward town
bearing a single passenger
beyond the reach of this jittery pen
and far from the desk and the nosy gooseneck lamp.

It is time to decamp,
put on a jacket and venture outside,
time to be regarded by other eyes,
bound to be held in foreign hands.

So off you go, infants of the brain,
with a wave and some bits of fatherly advice:

stay out as late as you like,
don't bother to call or write,
and talk to as many strangers as you can.
