RE: My printed books arrived ( and were almost stolen! ) at my mom's front door...

Many congratulations!!! A journey concluded. I am sure it is a very special feeling - savour it.
It is great that Ms. A. saved the books from crying in any potential dutch rain. Nice that your mom unboxed the books and drank from the first "merch". The illustrations do look vivid and colorful.

Many congratulations!!! A journey concluded.

The next journey will be my books making their way to people like you ;<)

I should indeed celebrate this victory by treating myself to something nice ( tomorrow ).
After all, a thing like this doesn't happen every day.

Mrs. A. is a kind woman.
I have known her since the early 90s, when they moved into the house next to us.

And yes, my mom drunk from the merch ( you will be next )
and can soon take the content of the book as her next figurative/ fictional meal.

Knuffel!

The next journey will aslo be a nice one - looking forward to the hard copy. You should celebrate indeed - this is a special occasion - a first!!
Knuffel!

I celebrated with a pastel de nata this morning ;<)

And yeah, this feels a little quite a lot more special than finishing the notorious The Life of Hypersensitivosaurus: 22 Short Stories about Dinos and other animals ( that I only printed 10 copies of , on 22-02-22 ) .

🦖 knuffel!

Yummy I love them and even made them a few times. I even dared to serve them to a portuguese friend. :-)

Wow - so u have been there done that already. Why is this more special?

That previous project felt kind of forced and it was a bundling of 22 short stories that I had already written.

I only printed 10 copies of it and the print did not end up looking the way I hoped ( basically way too big, A4 ).

It did not really feel like a book, to be honest, and I didn't find a way to get a smaller print done, so I basically ended up not handing it out to anyone, aside from my own family, eventhough a bunch of Hive friends were interested.

I now realize that it was just part of the process and thus meant to be/ happen that way.

Onward and upward!
