Hi all,

I'm officially moved in.

I didn't expect the move to turn into an epic side quest, but here we are. I ended up pulling my first all-nighter since college after the movers ran out of room with only hours left before I had to be out of the house. That led to me renting a storage unit from my phone and making runs until everything was finally cleared out.

It was a lot, but I'm here, I'm settling in, and I'm very happy to be in the new place.

On the CC&C front, I now have an August slot with my editor, and I'm really excited she was able to squeeze me in.

One unexpected upside of packing up my entire life is that I had a lot of time to think, and I finally worked through some of the story issues that had been making me feel stuck. That feels like a huge win.

So at this point, CC&C is moving into the next phase. The plan is:

Thank you for sticking with me through both the book chaos and the life chaos. I’m excited to keep moving this project forward, and I’ll check in again soon with the next update.

Thank you!

Claudia
