It just makes this point in our careers even sweeter. Would we have appreciated it as much if our first books had been published? Plus, we're wiser about the publishing process than we were way back then. Because in truth, we were naive. Very naive. :)Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.com
