Everything in publishing moves very slowly, something I’m still trying to get my family to understand. (“Is your book out now?” “I told you, next year!”) But it does move! I’ve turned in my first round edits to my editor and am now sitting around wondering if I did a good job or the worst job ever. (I hope my editor isn’t weeping right now.) There’s also been COVER STUFF happening. I don’t know when we’re going to share.

In other news, we’re leaving for Japan in a bit more than a week and I’m feeling pre-tired. The flight is going to be brutal both ways. I look forward to the part in between!
