Three-and-a-half months. That’s how long it’s been since my last report to you. How time flies! It especially flies in the “attempting-to-get-one’s-book-traditionally-published” world. My latest news is:

Book Progress Report #13
Uh-oh. Number 13 is not my lucky number. Here’s the second rejection letter I just received:
Book Progress Report #12
Okay, people. It’s time once again for prayers. Or, for those of the non-praying ilk, crossing fingers.
Book Progress Report #11
Hi all! As you will cleverly figure out, this is an update to my last update, which was Book Progress Report #10. If this seems like a never-ending process, that’s because it apparently is. (Insert eye-roll emoji here.)
