It's Really Here

So, I finally got my copy of Withstanding the Lie. Yay! Although I've been kind of busy lately (with working overtime, apartment hunting, and preparing to sing at my hometown church this Sunday), I have been trying to read the book cover to cover to get the full experience of the whole thing. I've spent most of my time reading the book on the subway which I have to mention is kinda cool (haha, you know reading your own book on the train). But honestly, it's pretty good travel reading--it moves quickly. And thank goodness for that because we worked really hard on making sure the book flows and doesn't cause readers to get "bogged down" in heavy explanations. So what I'm saying is buy the book and read it while using public transportation (planes, trains, buses, subways and the like). It's a good read for commuters.



Now that I'm finished with the shameless self-promotion portion of this blog...



Like I mentioned above I'm going back to my hometown for the weekend. I miss my parents and grandmother. It feels like it's been awhile since I've been home even though it's barely been over a month. I'm also excited about going to church and having the opportunity to sing. Lately, singing has been really important to my "sanity." It keeps me grounded and focused. It helps alleviate the stress. Even though I'll be singing and talking shop with my father about WTL, this might be a bit of a mini-mini-mini vacation. I might have a few moments to just breathe. Or maybe not.



Anyway, right now I'm coming down with a bit of a cold, and I'm feeling pretty "icky." In an effort to take care of myself, I'm going to dedicate the rest of this evening to eating a good hardy meal and watching a few episodes of my favorite show EVER "Star Trek: The Next Generation." [Yes, I'm a nerd, but I'm not ashamed.]



Oh, and please write me at nicole@withstandingthelie.com and tell me what you think. I love getting mail. Really.

Books for Sale

Finally! Withstanding the Lie is now available for sale online.

It's been a long time coming, but WTL is now officially for sale. Just visit the website [www.withstandingthelie.com] to take a look. Or just plug in "Withstanding the Lie" on www.amazon.com. Either way you can buy yourself a book :)

The whole thing is surreal for me right now. I don't think it's really sunk in that we've finally made it this far. Maybe it's because I haven't physically seen or handled one of the printed copies. Strange I know, but since I live in the New York and all the nuts and bolts of the project are going on in Connecticut I haven't yet had the chance to see the book. My copy should arrive at my apartment tomorrow afternoon. To say that I'm excited is an understatement.

Now that the book is completed and we have all the writing, re-writing (re-writing, re-writing), and editing behind us. My dad and I can start concentrating on spreading the message written within its pages. I feel that this (spreading the news) is the most important part. It's why we wrote the book in the first place, to help people. To finally be able to get out there and do it is an amazing thing.

I have a lot of hope for the future and a lot of faith in this project.

Welcome

Hey Everyone,

The official release date of Withstanding the Lie (WTL) is practically upon us. My father and I have waited a long time for this and we are ready for the new adventures ahead of us. I just want to welcome everybody with open arms who took the time to look at our website and blogs.

Here on my blog, I plan on sharing with you the adventures my father and I have as we share our message. I also plan to share with you the struggles I have as I try to withstand the lie in my everyday life. And I plan on giving you a different perspective on television, film, and the entertainment world by showing you how entertainment gossip, popular headlines, and even reality shows can be seen through the WTL lens.

Lastly, I’d love to hear from you. Please e-mail me at nicole@withstandingthelie.com and tell me what you think. Whether it be good, bad, or indifferent I want to hear from you.

Thanks for stopping by.
