I was out to lunch with a colleague yesterday and he asked me what I am "getting" out of the 20 Project?
To be honest, I was a bit taken back by the ask; however, I guess from an outsiders point of view, this could be a money making project or it could be to support some cause....
I honestly just hope that someone learns something from our stories. Someone has an ah ha! moment and things start to make sense, or someone, who is in a deep dark place, starts their journey towards the light. This project is more about reflection and growing then anything else.
If The20Project has success, I have promised my contributors that we first will just pay our expenses (website costs, professional editor, illustrator, and publishing costs) and then we would decide what to do with any profits. In any case, I suspect that any profit will be most likely be donated somewhere that will make the most difference.
First, we have to get through edits!!! One due date at a time :)
