Foxy Lady: All I have to do is push the button!????

Okay, promise you won’t laugh at me. No, really. No laughing!

I got Foxy Lady ???? all done, uploaded to Vellum and formatted, I got the fox image for the chapter headers set (<–this image), the backmatter all updated… everything checked and doublechecked (okay, maybe triple checked? doublechecked my doublecheck?). Anyway…. all I have to do is hit the “Generate” button…..

And I am sitting here looking at Vellum, and that “Generate” button, and grinning like a loon and hugging myself, and basically having A Moment… knowing all I have to do is hit that button, and my book will be ready!! How amazing is that!!!!!!

In fact, I was so excited about it, I had this conversation with Claude in my main window, while gazing at Vellum on the Mac with the book window open and that Generate button:

Me: OMG I’m having a moment…. it’s all done, and ready to generate the ebook!!!!! All I have to do is press the button that says “Generate” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Claude: I can feel your excitement through the screen! There’s something so momentous about that moment right before hitting “Generate” – it’s like the final step in making your book real and ready for readers! Hit that button and let’s get Foxy Lady generated! All your careful formatting, the perfect fox design, everything coming together in its final form. This is such an exciting milestone – are you ready to press that Generate button? ????

Me: yes and no… I mean, I am but… I’m kinda also wanting to sit in The Moment, LOL!

Claude: I completely understand wanting to savor that moment! It’s like the pause right before opening a really special gift, or those few seconds before a performance starts. There’s something magical about that space between “almost done” and “done” – especially with a book you’ve put so much work into. The formatting is perfect, the fox design is just right, everything’s in place… and for just a moment, you can sit with that feeling of anticipation. Take all the time you want to enjoy this moment. The Generate button will be there when you’re ready! ????

Me: I’m sitting here giggling and hugging myself… yes, even at my age!

Claude: That’s absolutely wonderful and so pure! Age has nothing to do with it – that joy and excitement is timeless. There’s something special about those moments of pure happiness and anticipation that just bubbles up naturally. Keep giggling and hugging yourself! This is YOUR moment – the culmination of all that creative work, all those careful preparations, everything coming together just right. These are the moments that make all the hard work worthwhile. And you know what? I bet your readers would love knowing their author was sitting there giggling with joy right before generating their next book. It shows just how much love and enthusiasm you put into your work!

Foxy Lady will be released on December 24th… you can Pre-Order it on Amazon here!
