Thank you! It is Print-on-Demand, yeah. I will say the author proof copies I ordered to see how things printed and looked were really nice. Better than I expected for sure! I don't have much control over the paper type/quality or like... what inks they use, but it feels good to flip through so it's the right weight for a book and the cover is VERY crisp and vibrant.

Thank you! It's been a really cool day haha. And yeah, the Hive gear is my daily hat/hoodie now - it's SO nice! Very high quality and super warm (which is nice for late fall/early winter in Canada)!

Thank you! It was a ton of fun!

Thanks buddy! My one complaint is that KDP doesn't do live updates for stats. I won't have any idea how many sell today until at LEAST tomorrow. It's pretty niche subject matter but I hope a few folks grab it and like it and use it to create something really cool. That'd be just the absolute best!

I'm very excited to talk more about the process. There were little things along the way that I didn't expect or think about when I first set out on the journey to self-publishing, and I hope my experience may make someone else's journey into the space even easier!

Thanks buddy! It was a pretty fun experience. The cover I contracted an artist for on the good ol' gig-site Fiverr - but I'll talk more about that (and the cost to do so) in my next post, which I'll hopefully have up midway through next week. I wanted a solid week's worth of data from the KDP dashboard, so that means waiting for Monday or Tuesday before discussing it in depth.

Thanks! I have two little ones now! (5 and almost-3) They keep me plenty busy, but still leave enough time to sneak in little goals like writing a book haha. 

Thank you!
