1. "The book is on the table" saga or... Ou est la plume de ma tante.

FINALLY: the first draft was just sent to my amazing editor/"revision eagle" and to the foreword writer both of which will remain anonymous for the time being. @RoninInstitute @IGDOREinstitute

2. I have no idea if the book will be dedicated to these people, this way or not. It's just there. All I know is that meeting the first deadline is such a relief... I'm just flying around the living-room after observing eagles flying.

3. This is my first "hybrid-indie" production. My appreciation for my previous publishers grew so much. Publishing a book is serious shit. But I got my ISBNs, designer friends to help and my great brother @LaerteCoutinho1 for the cover!

4. The book IS on the table! La plume de ma tante est ici!

5. Much love to @Grammarly . I had to divide the text in 5 parts to pass it through the software and it seems I can install it on MS word. Today, I have no idea how I survived and published without @Grammarly . Just knowing it here on my computer is reassuring.
