day 29 :: i'm writing a book

September 26, 2011

It’s official! I’m writing a book through F + W Media, and it will be available under their North Light title September 2012.

Since I shared the signing of my fabric line contract with you, I thought I’d continue the tradition and share the signing of the book publishing contract too. Almost a year + a lifetime in the making, it’s crazy exciting.

*deep breath* *i’m writing an entire book by myself* *i can do this*
