The pressure to do things well tempts us to not. At a certain point a startup (or anyone) has to make decisions that what they have is good enough to ship.

Because shipping eventually becomes more important than perfection.

With yesterday’s manuscript review in hand, Xulon Press made an offer for a copyediting service (for an additional fee).

The choice is have a book in hand (for sale to the world) by Thanksgiving but with potential errors. Or have a flawless book that might not be for sale until the end of the year.

Praying for wisdom and courage.

Asked politely for an update on the 16th day.

For everyone.

Does it become a joy for everyone?

Up at 5:00am, drove home to take care of Cooper and now writing today’s five blogs. Prayed Cooper would be alright after spending the night alone in the house for the first time ever.

Prayers answered. (thank you)

Hired a professional to migrate the word pdf document into a publisher-ready format for editing and publishing. Printed it out and will have a read through later.

First glance looks really exciting. (also thank you)
