Oh, wow. Okay.
For the first time since its publication, I read I'm Stalking Jake! cover to cover this week.
I am extremely proud of the end product. I'm proud of the work that I did with Jake Watch, and remain astonished at my luck in finding such a productive and complementary partner in Susie (britpopbaby).
And yet I also now understand why so many people have commented to me on the "honesty" of the book as a whole. As I wrote it, I was concerned I may come off as too sanctimonious. I see now that those fears were ungrounded; I did a remarkable job of leaving my character flaws prominently in place.
It made me laugh, it made me clench up in rage...it was surreal to acknowledge that the story that I was reading was the story of my own life. And not only that, but the story of my life as written by me. That being the case, I can't quite explain how it was that I stayed up past my bedtime three nights in a row because I was dying to know "what happened next."
Jake Watch wasn't just a blog. It was an adventure. And it was a work of art - living and breathing art - that swept me and so many other people up in its wake. I comment at one point toward the end of the book that there was nothing like it on the internet. And there wasn't; there still isn't, and I doubt there ever will be.
If you haven't yet read the book, I strongly encourage you to do so. An endorsement from the author may seem like a conflict of interest, but I wrote the damn thing and I hadn't read it yet, either. Not really. Not from the perspective of a reader, rather than a writer.
And now that I have, the only thing that I can say is that I am so incredibly glad that I wrote it. Wow. What a ride...

Hey Becky, I know this is really, really, really late in the game but I just wanted to say that I love your writing. The fact that you were able to publish a book about this type of thing has really inspired me as well. In fact, it was part of the reason I started blogging again after about 10 years of believing that I shouldn't blog again. :)
I'm a little Jake crazy, of course, and so I'm going to do a stack of movie reviews about Jake's backlog of movies. (I mean, who *wouldn't* want to read a bunch of reviews about films that they don't quite remember or never knew existed in the first place? I'm going to create that blog right now, to target that non-existent market. ;)
Love your sense of humour, too.
Greetings from Australia,
VC.
