Received word a few minutes ago from my editor that the manuscript is being sent off to the designer.  Which means that we have officially completed the editing on the book and are now waiting for the galley proofs to look over for any errors or corrections.

We’re one step closer to getting it out the door, but it was the biggest step of all in my opinion.  Going from a rough collection of notes and class lectures to a fully edited and complete manuscript in 8 months.  Whew!
