Book design anxiety


Who ever knew waiting for your book design could make me this anxious? I mean, I really shouldn’t feel anxious about this — there are too many other things in my life to be anxious about — my 17 year-old’s future, where the next pay check will come from, etc.

But sure enough, the anticipation of knowing a book cover is being designed for Principles of Belonging but not yet able to see it is driving me nuts. Sing it, Carly Simon.
