Just start means committing to do a thing despite the challenges ahead, and there are many.
It's hardest to start. You give up on the first mess you encounter. If you are able to persist ... You will get to a finish line of your own making. You did it. Keep going.

Yesterday met Joe at my booth. He says, I have seen your covers... and been curious about your work. "I packed them," he says. It turns out he works for Amazon in Bolton, Ontario, where they are printed. He took a snap of the qr code so he could order a copy when it's out. How cool is that?
