I have been so absent from this blog because I have been so present in my novel writing and editing that I have not been able to process any other words, until now.
I am a big believer in signs. If you are willing to see them, they are everywhere. As many of you already know, my first novel, The Waking Hours, will be self-published on January 11th, 2021. (1/11) My second novel, titled One Eleven, is scheduled to be published 111 days later on May 2nd, 2021. For the past few months, I have noticed the number 111 at many different times and in many different ways.
Almost every day, I happen to glance at a clock or look at my phone at precisely 1:11 pm. And no, I am not glancing repeatedly until the seconds pass. It happened again today, and when my best friend in Calgary received the email I sent to her earlier today, the delivery time was 11:11 am, her time. The last time I ran to the grocery store, my Odometer was happy to show me I had driven 11.1 kilometers. And as I played a Turbo table of online Texas Hold ‘Em, the person to the right of me was called Shady1111, and the person to the left of me made a bad bet and was left with 1,111 dollars in chips. I was flanked by 1111.
To say I think these things are a good omen for me in 2021 is an egregious understatement. Although self-publishing a book is a frankly nauseating experience, my nerves are not as electrically charged as they had been. The acid that now percolates in my stomach is much more of a simmer as opposed to the rolling boil it had been at the end of the horrific year formally known as 2020.
I entered 2021 with a great sense of hope and a new confidence in myself. I took a short respite from my books to create an author website where I can post updates, and readers can learn more about the future books in the series. I do not know what the universe has planned for me this year, but I am happy to climb on board to see where the ride takes me.

Happy New Year, Susan, and congratulation on your new website—it looks wonderful! I’m looking forward to reading your book in just a few weeks!
Happy New Year, to you as well. And thank you so much for all your support! Wishing you all the best.
Congratulations. While I am not particular aware of any significance in numerology to the numbers 11, 111, or 1111, I will say it is always a thrill to spot the sequential or noteworthy numeric combinations in the ordinary way of life.
I am curious, are you closing down Polysyllabic Profundities in favor of the new site? Or is it just an extension of yourself in a newer page?
Thank you so much. I have always understood seeing sequential numbers means good luck.
I will be keeping both sites active. Polysyllabic Profundities will still give me a chance to write outside of the books and keep some silliness in my life. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Exciting news! Congratulations on your books – one is monumental – two is magical!
Thank you, Sheila! Hope you and Pretty are keeping well.
