I know it has been many months, over a year actually, since I last posted here. So much for building anticipation for my book about our trip. Life gets in the way sometimes. I appreciate you, loyal reader!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please do me a favor and send the <a href=\"https:\/\/nickwoodland.com\/wanderingwoodlands\" type=\"link\" id=\"nickwoodland.com\/wanderingwoodlands\">link to my website<\/a> about our trip to anyone you can think of and tell them to subscribe for notifications about new posts by entering their email in the &#8220;Get new posts by email&#8221; box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, it&#8217;s true! My book is going to see the light of day. It will be self-published on Amazon and will be available by July 1st! That is, if I can figure out Kindle Publishing on Amazon, and edit my book properly, and format it correctly, and price it competitively, and&#8230;well, drum up the courage to actually do it. Will it be good enough? Is there enough excitement, conflict, drama, etc to interest you, dear reader? Will people see me differently after they read my inner thoughts? I believe we all have an exterior life and an interior one that we live, and they are sometimes very different. As a writer releasing a book, that inner life will be revealed to all. Basically, I&#8217;m a little nervous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, our trip still resonates deeply with me at times. And it is a story worth telling. So, hang in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some content to keep you going, you can watch as much or as little of my <a href=\"https:\/\/nickwoodland.com\/posts\/year-on-the-road.html\" type=\"link\" id=\"nickwoodland.com\/posts\/year-on-the-road.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Year On The Road 5-part Movie<\/a> as you would like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay Tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Nick<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are reading this post it means you are still receiving the automated emails from my website.
