No book for now
Well, the editor decided to call it all off today. I made a bunch of changes, and I thought we all agreed on them, but the others on the committee didn't like them, so they're not publishing my book.

I'll start working on my first backup publisher tomorrow, but tonight is for feeling sad at the loss. I really liked the editor and thought they were the best publisher.

1. Sorry to hear that
But you've put a lot into it, and the info isn't going to go stale. Maybe the timing will be better in 6 months or a year.

8. Update: The new publisher got my package today!
I won't hear for at least a month (so that vest won't be in the fair this summer, which is okay, since I have another sweater I was going to submit). Still, it felt good to get it all done and off. I'm not giving up on this yet. :)
