Oh, thankgod:
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!
I am so relieved to have this independent project to sink my teeth into.
Wait, that sounds bad, given the topic.
Um, ...this project to rescue my brain from stewing in the deficits of my other job.
Eww. Yeah, that's about it.
