After two months of editing, revising, editing some more, chopping, cropping, screaming and editing again, I have finalized the content of my book.
And then – if that isn’t exciting enough – I picked up the proof of my book from the publisher on Thursday.
A moment ago, I gave the publisher the green light to start printing 150 copies of Pieces.
I will have them in my hands in approximately a month.
After seven months of work on this project, it is almost complete. I will be able to say that I am officially the author of a book.
I’m so happy I’m losing my mind a little bit.
When I touched the proof for the first time, I couldn’t stop the scream of joy that erupted from my throat. Nor could I stop the epic happy-dance that followed. This is such a huge, huge deal and I can’t express how happy I am with what I have accomplished. If a person is determined and dedicated, the sky really is the limit.
A picture of the cover will follow soon, as well as promotional excerpts and information about my book launch. Stay tuned because it’s going to get crazy...
I'm insanely proud and jealous in equal measure. Congrats, love.
