Whenever the moment comes to tear open that first box, anticipating the look of the books, their feel, trying to gauge all the emotions – I tell you, it remains to be quite an experience. I doubt it will ever be different – assuming this happens again – and I wouldn’t want it to be either.
So I took a moment…
… before beginning Phase Two: readying the orders.
Invoices, press releases, cover letters, padded postage bags, books … and Mildred Pierce on the television to keep me company as I work.
This is the part I do as the publisher, ahead of delivering the majority of the rest of the stock to the distributors later today.
It feels good. It feels productive – and I’ve not felt that for a while.
