Okay, so this writing project I've been so cryptic about over the past few months is coming to fruition. (If you read a few months ago, I had this amazing disappearing post that only showed up in blog readers because Typepad did not want it to be.) I found a publisher. It's an anthology of great mommyblogging, grouped by subject and perfect for anyone who does not have time to sort through the archives of the women (and one man) below to find the absolute gems of each. We're shooting for fall '08 for the release. I'd like to write a lot more about this experience, which I've said almost nothing about publicly, even though I've been working on this project for more than two years. I want to tell you about how I felt during the process. I want to tell you what I learned. I want to tell you how kind and how horrible people can be. I just don't have time to do that today. And I'd also like to have the contract in my hands, because I'm still terrified despite two conversations yesterday with the publisher that this is all really just a dream from which I will wake up imminently.
You will all be excited to buy this book, because here is the contributor line-up. The spacing is all messed up, and I, alas, do not have time to fix it.

I know. I, too, am shocked these people wanted to work with me. I think they needed an administrative assistant, and I volunteered. ha!
More soon.
