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

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!
