It is really hard to describe the feeling of opening the first box of books. When all your ideas, all the hard work of preparing and collaborating is done. Seeing your book in a finished form. Its nerve racking and yet undeniably fulfilling.
As hard as the process is at times. I live for the build up. When you aren't sure of anything and yet you still feel confident that it is all worth it.
Being creative is only part of the drive. I truly hope readers love the finished work.
As far as needing proof. I just opened my first box of proof for this book. And I am really looking forward to further boxes of courage.
