One More Push!

One more push, aaaaand…Poof!  We’re done.

But there’s not a cute bundle to hug and love on with this kind of birth.
Just a screen saying in 24-72 hours your book will be live.

Kind of anticlimactic until the anxiety sets in.
Is it really ready?
Is it proofed enough?
What about formatting?
What about my life being out there for people to read about?

But that’s when invaluable friendship showed up and brought us back to reality.  We celebrated with some home-made hummus, cheese, crackers and a choice tasty drink.  Then we took some more pictures and made fish tacos.

Nothing too fancy.  But something money can’t buy!
