We went to the OB yesterday for the latest reality check. Apparently Robbi is “measuring correctly,” which seems impossible since she can barely fit through the front door. Her due date is one month from today, which is to say, we’re in full-blown denial mode. We have three books to finish before now and then.
I’ve warned Robbi that if she has this baby before all the scheduled work is done, I’m going to rely on my backup illustrator.
Her work is solid.
Her work ethic peerless.
Just wanted to give you a heads-up, so that you’re not caught off guard by a dramatic shift in style when your next book arrives.
I think you totally should use her–gather some of your favorites (or her favorites) from her work and write something connecting them. Or transcribe one (or all) of her stories about them. I’d totally read that one.
Hang in there Robbi! I’m a month away too! Day after Thanksgiving I intend to start bouncing in every way known to man.
