Today I handed in a draft of a new book to my editor. Feels good.

Next thing on my agenda: Prepping for my artist residency on a tall ship in the Arctic! I leave next week. Here’s the situation:

No problem, right? I’ll pack this weekend and have a few days next week for the last-minute scramble as I suddenly remember a whole slew of things I need to do before I fly to Svalbard. While I’m aboard the ship, I won’t be able to blog, but I’ll be storing up pictures and stories to share for when I get back. And that’s the news from here. Oh, also, this blog post is dedicated to the Cleveland Browns. :o)
