Yay amazing. This is so exciting. And I love that this was the half arsed idea you threw in there. So affirming to keep all the most sideways random ideas in the mix always. And then followed by so much work. Good job.

What a great day! Congratulations on creating something that took so much self-determination, grit, and hard, hard work. That quality of just sticking to something is one of the things I admire about artists and you. I can't wait to get my copy and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Savor this! You did it, Lian! <3
