        @AnnaDaviscourt Thank you Anna! It's been a rough ride, working a good 25-30 hours a week on the book and then an additional 25 on contracts that actually pay the bills, I've been overworked and broke at the same time haha... But now I'm celebrating, taking a break and relaxing! I have barely 10 hours of work this week and it is MUCH NEEDED!

          @NessIllustration that’s awesome! How wonderful to have had your first impressions on your publishers be so positive! I’m excited for you to get that next project under way.

          I’m not anywhere near published, but I know SVS is truly a gem. It has been invaluable to me in getting this far and encouraging me to chase my dream and work for it.

          Two cheers for a job done well and getting your first book “in the books”!

            @NessIllustration You deserve a big fat break! Did you get decent pay from doing the book?

                          Congrats, the book look awesome. I love how your illustrations turned out. Your use of colour is perfect. I'm not surprised the publishers loved it and want you to do more work.

                          Oh and fair play for getting it done in such a short timeframe, that's fantastic!

                              @AnnaDaviscourt Hahaha not really 😛 That's why I had to take so many other contracts on the side to pay the bills while also working full time on the book! It was shitty, but my first book so I was willing to put up with it haha
