\"Like<\/a> <\/p>\n

I can’t tell you how cool it was to finally see my book show up on Amazon.
\n<\/a>
\nIt was a really good feeling!<\/p>\n

But then I got word that people were starting to receive my book from earlier orders and were also finding a few mistakes in the book.

\nIt was like losing all the wind in your sails. I told Laurie it felt like I was a balloon full of air and someone just untied me and all the air was just pouring out.<\/p>\n

Kinda like this…<\/p>\n\n

Or maybe more like this poor whoopee cushion…<\/p>\n\n
