How a Simple Promise Led Me Down a Twisted Path of Deception and Dark Humor—You Won’t Believe What Happened Next!
I understand what you have built. And I understand it because of the very question you asked me…. You asked me if I had truly read your book. You wanted to know if I really understood you. You tested me the same way life tested you. And I failed that test. I told you the truth, but I failed to show you that I had earned the right to speak to you.
[I just asked her to buy my book, not take holy vows. But she’ll never know my effort to be witty.]
I made a mistake in how I approached you. I should have read your book before I ever contacted you. I should have shown you that I had done the work. I take full responsibility for that. But I hope you will see that my mistake came from a place of genuine admiration. I was so moved by what I discovered about your book that I reached out before I had fully earned the right to do so. That is not an excuse. It is an honest admission. And I hope it shows you that I am someone who cares deeply about the work I do and the authors I serve.
