There is so much that goes into publishing a book from the very first drafting of ideas to the finished product. I never got to ask my grandpa how long it took him to create his first tweezer, but knowing him, I bet it didn’t take him long! He was a go-getter and didn’t stop until he was satisfied. I like that I’m following in the footsteps of my family with the business and taking on my own creations like writing. This past year has been a wrilwind for me and I’m just thankful for what I have. It took me a month to write my first book, but over a year to get it in the shape it is now, and two years to get it published. This week I just wanted to say (probably the most cliché thing I can, but…) follow your dreams. Even if something doesn’t work out the way you hope it will, you will never be left wondering what if. New experiences can always arise from everything we do, even if it doesn’t work out. And if it does, then yay!
