I'm not there yet, but I was wondering today about my fellow writers, aspiring and published, what was your "making the call" to tell people you got a "deal." I've thought about this a lot. Here's mine, in order
- My wife.
- My mother, who will in turn tell my brother and sister.
- My father.
- Wife's grandmother.
- Mine and my wife's aunts, uncles and cousins via mass text message or email.
- Betas and writing supporters. (Y'all know who you are.)
- Some close friends, either email or text massage. When I know they all have found out, then I got to #8.
- Facebook/Twitter friends.
- Blog entry for the whole world.
So, what's your order?
