It's somersault time! After 48 revisions, false starts, re-starts, humps, bumps, and hair-pulling, I finally have a rough draft for a picture book text--JG, G--that I think I might be able to shape into something to send to my stellar agent. Meanwhile, we're awaiting word from RH/GB on a retold tale for which they are already discussing illustrators. The mere fact that they're discussing illustrators I'm taking as a good sign, but I won't jump for joy until I hold an actual book in my hand. Okay--honestly--I'll do a little dance if it gets picked up. But only a little one.

Then, of course, there's the nail biting that comes from awaiting the reviews. (And here I am told to "avoid stress." Keep that in mind, dear reviewers. I am so ready to put this one to bed.
