22. That's great!
:hug: :toast:

I just posted that picture because she looked happy. Money is not as important as getting your name out there and having experience. :)

17. And now,
you are immortal.

Think about it. The book will be in the Library of Congress forever, and your name will reside there.

Fun, huh?

(And authors such as I are nothing without Editorial Assistants, so I'm very glad you got proper billing. You folks are always the first ones I thank in the Acknowledgments.)

18. Wow, I never thought about it that way
:o

Awww, thanks. I pride myself on my proofreading and editing skillz. I've got a precise eye. I'm an unpaid Intern, so the acknowledgment is even nicer. I work with some really wonderful people. :)

21. Its exciting isn't it?
I had my name in the acknowledgements section of a scientific article published in a prestigious journal and that really excited me, even though it was in the back and not with the other authors but published is published!
