Deep thoughts and impromptu dance parties: Believarexic Release Day

There is nothing to writing.
All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

-Earnest Hemingway

Friends,

Papa Hemingway and I don't have a lot in common, but if you asked me to describe the process of creating Believarexic, his words are most apt.

Writing Believarexic was an intensely personal and challenging experience. Some days it truly felt like I was opening a vein onto its pages.

But the response from readers has been humbling and deeply gratifying. Like, personal dance party gratifying (see below).

And so, I'm thrilled and grateful --and perhaps slightly terrified-- to announce the release of Believarexic into the wild.

It is available in hardcover (October 1) and e-book editions (October 6) wherever books are sold.

I hope you'll buy a copy today, and spread the word to your friends, students, and family.

Thanks for traveling this journey and dancing these dance parties with me.

May the force be with you, friends.

Xoxo,
jj
