Final Proof

First thing this morning I read my emails and noted that my editor at Sourcebooks wrote to ask the question: "Do you have any other changes to make to the book? If not, this baby is going to press."

These kinds of messages always fill me with a little dread. Realizing that what I've written will now be printed in a final form is daunting. All of my deficiencies as a writer will be revealed. Hundreds (hopefully, thousands . . . heck, let's go for millions! of people) will read the book. It will be critiqued. Reviewed. Then probably dumped on the remainder table.

(Sigh)

I had no changes to make. Let the presses roll and let the chips fall!
