The publisher wrote back that they were just about to offer the book job to someone else, so I wrote just in time, and it is now mine!

Um, ...this project to rescue my brain from stewing in the deficits of my other job.
Eww. Yeah, that's about it.

Congrats, yo! Only a matter of time before it’s in the can.

ZHOEN: "A very messed up system"--yes, that could be the title of a book on the subject.
