I was like, okay, I'm just gonna give it a go and see if I can shop around and get a publishing deal. And that actually, I was surprised it took me a little bit more work than I thought I would need to do. I think my ego got the best of me. I'm so glad that things worked the way they did to land me there because it's been just wonderful.
