Advice from my incredibly insightful agent Molly O'Neill.
So, this is how we dance with perfectionism and fear -
jump in and do the best we can do -
today.
Because we can only ever be as good
as we can be in this moment.
And that is enough.
I'm off for a few weeks to finish my deadline,
blinders on, hopefully,
nose to the grindstone,
remembering not to stick my paintbrush in my coffee cup.
If I can, I'll check in briefly
about this thrilling picture book process.
Fingers crossed, etc! : )

Exactly right! Hope your final push is going well. I'm in the midst of a revision, which always turns out to be like other people's first drafts as I write such a big mess to start with - but hey, this is a long game, no? May the flow be with you...
