When I handed my husband the first few chapters of the first draft of my book, I was shaking. All my writing took place at\u00a0night after he fell asleep, so he didn&#8217;t understand what I was up to. My face felt boiling when I gave it to him. I left him in our room alone to read it and ran into the bathroom and jumped in the shower, the entire time wondering what he would think.\u00a0<br> From the moment I re-entered our room, over two years ago in December 2016, until the current\u00a0moment, my husband has been nothing but supportive, encouraging, and helpful. He edited my entire third draft of the book and\u00a0bought me writing software, editing software, an office desk and chair. He found our cover artist and our copy editor and\u00a0has spent countless hours researching publishing and marketing for the book. I can&#8217;t tell you how many spreadsheets he&#8217;s created from his research, he loves spreadsheets\u2026 He is my agent, my financial adviser, my photographer, and my best friend.\u00a0<br> He has filled the past seven years with love and adventure. I can&#8217;t believe I found someone that not only supports me, but who is right there with me, working on something so important. This book isn&#8217;t just mine, it wouldn&#8217;t exist in the way it does without him.
