Well, you read it. I got the rough draft of the book done last month! This has been, overwhelmingly, the most time consuming and demanding project I've ever done, and I appreciate everyone's patience for it (and with me) so, so much.
(The next time I say I'm going to write a non fiction history book, I'm quoting at least 5 years to completion. Cause yikes dudes.)
What's next is: editing and illustration. I'm having a few colleagues look it over for me to help clean it up and catch any snags I may have missed. It went through some beta reading with friends a few months ago and the responces were very positive! I also have to write the introduction (which will be fun--I love all the nerdy nitty gritty) and also... illustrating. The art should go much quicker than the writing, so we're only a few months off from having the whole thing done and ready to go into publication.
Thank you all again for your patience, I'm so excited to be this much closer to sharing this amazing book with you!
