Proof Copy Arrived!! (Patreon)

I worked hard during those 2 weeks off and did it!!! The proof copy arrived today!! Here are some of the pages!

It's my first time properly working with CMYK colors (as opposed to just sending something to the printers and hoping for the best!) and they came out SO GOOD! 🤩

The book starts with 9 pages of ridiculous things baby Vincent is angry about. Then it takes a quick somber tone, with how that can make a mom feel, before ending with a uplifting "You're not alone. You'll get through this! You're doing a good job!" type vibe.

It might seem a little ham-fisted to anyone not in that position, but it can be dark and lonely being a new mom to an angry baby, and I felt a book like this would have helped me. Being able to feel less alone and being told this phase won't be forever can mean so much; especially when you're in a sleep deprived haze! 😅

Apologies to dads that it's so mom focused! I tried to write it more gender neutral at first, but found having things more black & white worked better for a baby book. I do have an idea for a dad orientated book in the future if this one does well! 😉

I have to tweak that last pink page, so the text isn't so close to the edge, but then I'm going to do the first order! Unsure if I should do preorders or wait for them to arrive? I was thinking $14.99 unsigned or $25 signed? Maybe do a deal where you can get this and "Parenting is Weird" both signed for $40? (Instead of the usual $50). That sound about right?

EEEEEE!! EXCITED!!! 🤩
