So you’re published. Congratulations.
You got a book. Your name is splashed across the cover of an entire series. You got an agent. You got an ISBN number. You eat lunch with Helen Gurly Brown. You are a Newberry award winner, 3 times! And, children stand in long lines for your autograph. That’s wonderful. That’s great. Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!
