More than anything, I want to say congratulations on your authentic enthusiasm for this project! Whether the book end up selling 100 or 100,000 copies, I have a feeling you will be happy with it.

I "recognize" some of what you say, except from an opposite angle. I have been told for a couple of decades that I "should write a book" and have resisted because others' assertions that I am "a good writer* was never reason for me to write a book. "Write a book? Why?"

So, in a sense, I find your words very encouraging. Wishing you the best!
