Paula, what about you? Were you already part of the author space? Like what made you decide this is the thing you were going to do?

So I've always wanted to write a book.

I used to write stories.

I've always been a writer.

And I've talked about it for decades.

And then in 2024, I looked back over the previous year and realized that I had been churning out strategic plans for clients.

But I'd literally been churning out 50,000 words every two weeks for a year.

Paula, how did you think about success to your book when you first started writing it? And did that definition change once the book existed? Like, were there different metrics to keep an eye on at the start versus once it is now really here?
