Decision made...

Simon and Schuster are going to publish Silverweed! (Though it may have a different title.) I was really impressed with the team when I met them in London last week, and can't wait to start working with them. I think what impressed me most was how much thought they had put into getting the book out there. Their offer stood out immediately as the most considered, and I really liked them for that.

So, I now have a publisher. How exciting! Still haven't done any real writing since I finished the final draft of the book, though I have an idea for a situation and some characters, and things are kind of starting to happen in my head. I'm a bit reluctant to start, I think, because I now really know how much work it is... It takes so long! But it's hardly going down the mines is it?

Okay, tomorrow, I begin.
