I love this!! And agree with all you said about our plans and mistakes etc.
And I can relate to the disappointment of expecting a website to be a success and not realising how much work, time and money go into that. Yuck!
Thanks for the wonderful messages in this piece!! By the way, I sent you a private note on your submission hours ago (a quick little thing!). I often miss notifications of those private notes, so just in case you did, too, I thought I'd try here as well. Looking forward to publishing your beautiful submission!
