Cairo to Cape: ONLY 2 DAYS TO GO!!

It's all up to my illustrator right now.

Here is the inside of the book, which captures a design element from each of the 10 countries.

Which one do you like the most?

He sent me a sample of what the book would look like. It's called typesetting (TIL)

What do you think?

CairotoCape: T-7 days to go

My editor finished the manuscript! 🥳

I've been reviewing it on my @daylightco realizing how many small things I've missed out on because I wasn't using ‘pen and paper’

Some more edits and it’s all up to the illustrator. Going to be a close call 😅

Was editing in a moving car so writing looks like scribbles 😰

Cairo to Cape: T-10 days to go!

New illustration alert: Anuja and I am climbing Sapitwa, the tallest peak in Malawi.

Did you know Sapitwa means 'Do not come here' in Chichewa?

Our guide didn't tell us this until we came back to the base camp lol

Cairo to Cape: T-11 days 😱

Not as much progress on my end as I was learning so much in Oslo.

Editing is nearly done, and illustrations are nearing completion as well.

Here we are at JuicyB (Uganda) when it opened in 2024

Will share more tmr!

CairotoCape Book T-22 days

Printed a draft with the new illustrations of each country.

Each one captures a design element from that region, along with some facts of the country.

CairotoCape Book T-28 days

My illustrator received bitcoin via @Blink Wallet and paid himself in Kenyan Shillings using @Tando.me

He finished the call with "Now I'm interested!"

As bitcoin becomes usable in everyday life, adoption is inevitable.

Cairo2Cape Book T-minus 30 days

Heard from my illustrator, he's still committed to this project! I was concerned I might need to find someone else.

Editing is moving slowly; a few more gaps need to be fixed.

Cairo2Cape T minus 34 days

Reviewed the entire manuscript; the second half isn't landing, and Anuja's arc isn't clear. There is soo much to do 🤯

To top it off, no progress from the illustrator.

Have to close the week strongly!

I'm only four months into my India adventure, and have lots more to learn.

Shout out to @Daniel Prince for willing to discuss this topic.

More to come from India this year 😎
