I've had my head down deep in revision-mode but am crawling out of my writing cave to say:

It's still surreal and incredible to get to type that.

My mind is blown!! 🤯🤯🤯
While doing a deep sort & clean today, I stumbled across an old Children's Writer's Market. I flipped it open and, I kid you not, landed right on my publisher's page.
I guess I can let this one go now....? 😂
