Remember that old saying teachers used to shout out at the end of an exam? “Pencils down!” Well, I’m happy (and a bit relieved) to announce that I’ve put my pencil down and I’ve submitted my manuscript and made my final edits for my upcoming book. Now, it’s in the publisher’s hands as the editorial team takes these next few months to make sure that every I is dotted and t is crossed. But I’m happy to announce that we’re that much closer to the book being available for you in your local bookstore.
