Hopefully I'm not breaking any guidelines on self-promotion, but I bet some of y'all have made some really cool things.

Whether it's physical, art, a website, or software -- what is something that you're really proud of creating?

Please remove if this violates any guidelines (I couldn't find anything specific).

I signed up for this super techy sounding thing called buildspace with my rather non-tech idea of writing a book. I didn't expect to mesh well with the crowd, but once I got in I decided to not be so jaded and try to enjoy the ride.

I've been writing for a while now and have tried to publish a few novels. Receiving nothing but rejections and somewhat hiding all the work I've put in to crafting my stories.

Having a rallying force of other people excited to not just create things, but also release them publicly was refreshing! Even if most of the ideas were some word salad of tech buzzwords, the energy was motivating.

So I wrote a book called Besnowed and published it on Amazon during the 6 week program! I call it a nostalgic novel and wanted to capture the feeling of coming home to celebrate a holiday.

Here's a snazzy website that gives a brief overview: The warmth of winter in a book.

Or you can find it on Amazon!

Congrats on publishing! That's amazing. Dig the Substack newsletter, too.
