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.

Dear readers, it certainly is not a secret, but…

Disney's Small World final goodbye scene
How and when will we say our last goodbyes?

 

With tragedy surrounding us, whom shall we fear? Death is never far away. We read about it everyday. Much of it tragic.

But what about us? Our death. When will it happen? How will it happen?

So, dear readers, it certainly is not a secret, but… we are going to die. How we live each day between now and then is determined by one person, and one person only.
