Some people reading this won’t care, but some people have said they’re enjoying the open and honest “behind-the-scenes of building a startup” side of this story, so I’ve forced myself to put away the work and sit down and write another chapter – this one simply an update.

I bought a book in the first week of January, from this little shop called Zetta Florence in Fitzroy. Picture the most beautiful stationary shop imaginable.
