My book exists in the physical world

LATER EDIT: Oh my gods---I am holding my book in my hands!

It's an actual BOOK!

It's beautiful. My life is beautiful.

EARLIER:

I am told that an advance copy arrived at my apartment a little while ago.

This is what a photo of it looks like:

I have no words to express how proud and impressed by you I am.


And that was before the book came out.

Aw, you just love me. Lucky me!

"Just" love you? Like that is a diminishing thing?

Darling, the fact that you are brilliant and accomplish wonderful things is part of the reason I love you so much.

Writing is hard. Taking a complex set of information & ideas and organizing & expressing them in a digestible form is very tough.
Getting that book written and publish is an impressive thing, my Sweet and that is yet another indicator of what an amazing, impressive woman you are.

No, you're right. It is not a diminishing thing.

It is a privilege and a gift.

Thank you for this gift. I will never cease to appreciate it, love.
