This is a milestone to celebrate! Turning your articles into a book is a brilliant idea. Now about the book cover...

Communicating with the designer about the book and ideas for a cover is difficult. So be patient, especially if you are the designer's friend. Now cut the #1 birthday cake and celebrate!!

Happy first birthday for your newsletter, and wishing you well with book developments. A great idea to swap roles re the cover 😊

I love it! Especially doing the cover from the client side. As an architect who went owner, it’s an interesting experience.

I cannot express enough congratulatory declarations to adequately match how overjoyed I am for your first anniversary! It odd a milestone you should be extremely proud of. You have accomplished what many cannot… yet. 😉 My biggest commendation is your willpower to see it through. Huzzah, my friend, and I hope to see many more anniversaries here (and maybe get to at least one myself, giggle 🤭)

Have a fantastic weekend, and keep on publishing!!!! Especially that book - so fitting, and I’m incredibly intrigued Plus excited for ya!

An early happy 1 year, brother. 👏🏻 I love this idea and am looking forward to checking it out. Definitely eager to see what type of shoes the cobbler makes for himself. :-)

Nathaniel Roy's avatar

Thanks Shane!! Probably a shoe with lots of typos ;)

I love this! I’ve been kicking around an idea like this too for my one year anniversary, though I am still several months away from that milestone. I can’t wait to see your take on this project. I’m sure it will be inspiring.

Thanks Mike!

Inspiring would be cool. I’d probably just take “complete,” though 😁
