Margarita: Every step of it has been incredible. I self-published my first book. I wrote another book in between that book and Oona that I just set aside and didn't do anything with. It took four and a half years. During that time, I saw a lot of writers that I knew get agents and editors and book deals. One writer I knew hit The New York Times best seller list. I saw what a tough road that was and how many obstacles you had to surmount and how tough the odds were. Every time I crossed another hurdle, for me, I tried to be very present and grateful about every one of those moments, whether it was getting the agent, whether it was getting that book deal. Everything on top of that, it just blows my mind on levels that I truly, truly never expected. When I found out about Good Morning America, I always think of this line from My So-Called Life, it's like a stun gun to your brain. There's been so many moments where I have truly been like, is this real life? No, but really, have I drifted off to a parallel world or a dream state? What I've heard from other authors, especially during their debut year, the biggest issue for them has been that it goes by in such a blur. They wish that they had time to really stop and enjoy it more and worry about it less. I've tried to keep that in my mind so that every time something wonderful happens, whether it's just somebody posting about the book on Instagram or seeing my book on a Times Square billboard, that I stop and just really go, wow, I feel so lucky and I'm so grateful for this.
