Books take time

Happy new year. It has been some time since I posted here.

Reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot made me realize how absurdly optimistic my original goal for publication was. In a passage about the relationship the author developed with the family of Lacks, she wrote "in the 10 years that it took me to write this book." While I hope that my book does not take 10 years, family and career obligations have ensured that this book will not be complete by Christmas Eve of this year. And that's okay. Slowly but surely we'll get there. 

​Until next time.
