Letting go

Now that Contrail is out there I'm suddenly getting that feeling I had as a parent on my children's first day at school. You know that it has to be done, it's the next big step in life and you're pretty sure that they'll do just fine but you still worry about them.

Will it be popular? What if the fashionistas laugh at its cover? Will the big boys, the HarperCollins and the Random Houses be mean and gang up on my little baby?

Sigh.

All parents have to let go at some point.
