What was the process when you decided to write a book and how long did it take you to fully finish it? Pitched the book to publishers on about a picture of like 5 or 6000 words. Yeah. And I said I can probably get it done in three months. And they're like, ohh, we'll give you a year. And I thought a year. I think I'm gonna need a year. I needed a year. Yeah. I didn't have the full story plotted out before I started. I handed in the manuscript after a year. And then they pretty much said to me, great, now we edit and we do a structural edit and can the manuscript. Then it goes to an editor and then it comes back 100,000 words in a Word document full of tracked changes, which could be very overwhelming for some people. And it was overwhelming, but I loved it. And that was the point that I said, should we just go to Europe for a couple of months? So if I'm going to do this editing, at least I can like, I don't know, be in Italy. I love that.
