Deadline: Met

Clockwork Crown was contractually due by June 1st. I sent it to my editor today.

*great big sigh of relief*

Not that work on it is done by any means. Next up will be the revision letter (cue suspenseful music), then copy edits, then the page pass... and other stuff as well, but that's as far along as I am on the current publication path.

The comic Pearls Before Swine had a fabulous commentary on the path to publication in the strip yesterday. I am bracing myself for those "mehs." I guess I should stock up on flavored vodka.
