I recently learned that Peachpit has a little tradition that occurs when new books finally get sent off to the printer and the work of writing, editing, designing, and proofing a book is finally over. They get a few people together, call the author, and bang a gong over the phone. An actual gong.

I’m happy to report that today I got that call. My new book, Designing the Obvious, has officially been sent to the printer. Hooray!

The side of me that’s still young wants to spend the evening drinking beer in celebration. The part of me that’s old wants to finally rest and get some sleep.

Eh - I can sleep tomorrow. Right now, I’ll let the beer side win.
