Aw.

Apparently the line art my letterer was working from has proven to be different dimensions from the final colors, so she’s having to do a bunch more work than she expected and is unlikely to be done in time for submission tomorrow. So it’ll probably be the middle of next week, as she’s going away for the weekend. Pother. I mean, oh well; not much can be done about it, and we’ll certainly know, when the time comes, to have everybody sit down and discuss file sizes and dimensions and…

*puffed cheeks*

The synopsis for CAULDRON is done. I’ve done a page-long synopsis for the fifth book and a three paragraph one for the sixth, but included the last chapter of the sixth book, which I’ve had written for well over a year now, so, y’know, hopefully that alliveates some of the “bad writer, no cookie” for only a 3 paragraph synopsis.
