Seeing my novel for the very first time...

Yesterday, I received the advanced reading copy galleys of 'After Anatevka.'

It is the very first time I have seen my book as a BOOK. In the shape, weight, texture, and smell of a book.

There are no words to explain what this feels like. A bit like birth. It is certainly the most significant and enduring offering of my soul to ever emerge from me, and will last longer than any play, will last longer than me.

Dear hardworking dreamers, keep going.
