Publishing is not for the faint-hearted. Sometimes I wonder why I decided to go into publishing, using my own money when it's a business that is fraught with so many hundreds of possible places where you can go wrong. There's always a new possible error, mistake, blunder, oops, disaster. Some cost money, some cost face. It's a business that keeps you humble and on your toes. A lovely bookseller told me that she worked in publishing only briefly, she found it way too stressful. I smiled happily.
