Incredible achievements in such a short space of time, Winston! Can you share your daily vits list.

haha thank you, Adrian! I take 2 multi-vitamin gummies and sometimes drink a protein milkshake. Doesn't seem to slow down time though so I might need to experiment with different combinations.

I know! It's passing too fast, Brian. But it's been an incredible experience either way and I can't help but think it's only going to get better. Thanks for the support and I can't wait to see what the future brings!

Congratulations, Winston! I'm so impressed by all you've achieved and inspired by your accomplishments. It has been a lot of fun collaborating with you on projects, and I'm blown away by The Library's success. Your friendship and support have meant a lot, and no one is more deserving of success. Best wishes for all your future ventures :-)

Ditto! Thank you, Jacquie. You've made such an important point in your comment and that is about how fun it's been. That is the key to almost all of this. If a passion/hobby isn't enjoyable, why do it? I've returned again and again to this platform because it enhances my writing experience and that's difficult to quantify, but the connections and friendships made along the way are definitely tangible. So, I appreciate how fun you've made this!

Thanks, Alison! I'm glad to hear that the software was considered a boon. Let me know if you need anything else and I'll try to assist where I can. Just subbed to check out more of your work!
