I am also looking forward to reading your book. One way I stay grounded is cooking for people I love.

I sent out some proposals back in the spring but haven’t heard anything! Over the summer I got busy with a move so it’s on the back burner for now :)

It's not unusual to get radio silence, but still not easy to deal with. Keep at it and keep me posted.
