I've worked on it quite a bit since then and hopefully it's in much better shape now! I'm not ready to send it out yet, but I feel like I've accomplished something I wasn't sure I could do.

It feels like cooking without a recipe and if the first patrons hate the meal you rework from there. Perhaps we should query those we dislike first?
