\"sh-shotlists\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At 7:09pm on Monday, August 10th, I submitted close to 300 image files to my publisher. There are only 20 projects in the book,\u00a0so only a fraction of the photos will make the cut, but I like to err on the side of ridiculously excessive. For all intents and purposes, the hardest parts of book #2 are done done done<\/em>! From this point forward, it’s mostly about refining, tweaking and updating. I’ll do a final review of the book in its prettily designed and formatted\u00a0state in September and\/or October (?? it’s still a little unclear), and then it’s off to the printer! I signed the contract in early June of 2014, so I’ve been working on this project for a while…the release date is currently set for April of 2016, which means the whole process will\u00a0end up taking nearly two years. Whew.<\/p>\n

I made udon<\/em> noodles for dinner on Monday evening, read an extra chapter to K (we’re reading this book<\/a>\"\" right now and she loves it), and promptly fell asleep at 9pm. I have that disembodied feeling that I’ve come to associate with completing massive projects.<\/p>\n

What you see above is our in-progress shot lists as I spent three intense days with my friends George<\/a> and Rachel<\/a>\u00a0finishing up all the photos (we’ve had several other photo shoots together). We taped the shot lists and my sketches to the wall, which made it feel really real for some reason. I got to play Art Director, and that was a heady and nerve-wracking experience. I want to record details\u00a0about the photo shoots because they were incredible (large swaths of fabric were dyed! we constructed a teepee on the fly!) — but first, I’m going to go rest up and let my\u00a0brain decompress. Some reality TV might be in order. Or maybe a rom-com, beachy novel. Whatever it is, it will require zero concentration!<\/p>\n

P.S. I’m loving<\/em> all the childhood outfits from the giveaway question<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
