I did it.
I just placed an order for all of the pre-sold copies of the book. The Pre-Sale is officially over.
For those of you that didn’t Pre-Order, when you finally realize how badly you want a copy you can “order one yourself”:http://www.lulu.com/content/233962 directly from the printer for $60. Otherwise, email me and barter your way into one.
I sent out an email to those of you that purchased it. But, just in case you didn’t get it, please email me with your mailing address. Since some of you pre-ordered a long time ago, I want to ensure that your address hasn’t changed before I go off mailing something to you.
I’m glad it’s over. I enjoyed making it. Then I regretting getting started. Then you, my friends, supporters, and patrons, convinced me that it was a good thing. So I continued on. Three trial copies later and I finally got it.
All in all, not counting what may sell from this point forward, I made $152.12. I wont even tell you how many hours I spent on the book alone, let alone the images in it. That’s just depressing. What important is that it’s done, I’m happy I did it, and it’s absolutely beautiful.
Thank you, again, to all of you wonderful people who supported me through this and believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. You mean a lot to me.
YAY! I am so excited for this! I will email you this morning! :) I can’t wait to show it off! Your sunset print that I got, I am going to frame and give to a friend for her birthday. :) I adore looking at your photos and can’t wait to see the book!
Congratulations!
I’m sure you’ve heard it before and know it yourself–don’t think about the hours you put into the book or the money you make off it; think about the fact you’ve brought something beautiful into the world. :-)
