It was a lot of fun to finally meet you. Thanks for taking time to encourage my daughter and for showing us more stuff we definitely had to buy when we walked by the second time. I am going to buy the mystery series for my nephews soon. I still haven't started reading the book I bought, but I have it on the top of my reading pile currently.
You can drown in the what-ifs. It’s all inscrutable in the end. Only God knows, and He’s not always tellin’ why.
I don’t understand why creative works succeed, fail, or merely exist. I know I wrote a few things that eerily mirrored other authors’ work, but they beat me to the market by a hair, so my stuff would always be seen as the copy, even if I started mine before they began theirs. Synchronicity? A glitch in the Matrix? Dunno. Nothing explains it. It just is.
Creative people must create or else they will either go crazy or grow bitter. That I do know.
My wife wanted to sell some handmade items and some promo materials for an organization she started. Lost money on it all by the time the infrastructure was in place to sell it. Not sure how to make money that way unless you make it up in massive bulk. Volume overcomes all. Give the people what they want—and in copious amounts.

It was such a pleasure to meet both of you as well! You have an amazing daughter :-)

Maybe next year add homemade baked goods, right?
