The book is almost there – I spent 14 hours yesterday, pouring 8 straight batches of resin, adding sections to the book, taking a ton more photos and making a huge mess in the apartment :) The final draft, content-wise, is sitting with my editor…
…I get some idea that I simply must try. New items on the Etsy shop – check it out!
This morning I uploaded my final (fingers crossed) manuscript to be printed, and I couldn’t be happier. So much work, thought, creativity and time has gone into this puppy, and I feel that it shows. My editors and proof readers have been amazing, the response…
