The best part about finishing the finishing of a book (since even the finishing process can take several shots) is falling in love with it again. The revision process is sort of like cleaning a really messy house. When you're doing the heavy lifting, you pretty much hate the place and want to burn it down with a flamethrower. But when you're just going through the pretty, pristine rooms, wiping up those last smears of dust and straightening those last few books, well...
It's wonderful, because it's yours.
This book is wonderful because it's mine. Also because it's just a pretty rockin' book, all full of adventure and excitement and actual pie (and Toby being so very, very Toby that it hurts). And I have sign-off.
YAY.

The first three are all going out in the world. I can't wait to see the letters they send home to you.
