Congratulations on completing your book, Joy - it's a tremendous achievement. I still remember the day I wrote the final pages of my (still unpublished) novel and it was one of the happiest of my life. Whatever happens next, this is an enormous accomplishment and I hope you are celebrating it!

This tells me so much about your writer’s journey. (I hate that word, but it seems to fit here.) Go, Joy!

Congratulations! I look forward to one day reading your book! I (self) published my first book in October of 2021, also a memoir. It was such a wonderful accomplishment, one that I keep tucked in my pocket as a reminder that I am capable of achieving my dreams. My current dream is becoming a featured Substack writer, and hopefully a second book down the line. Thanks for sharing your take aways! 💜
