I just got the advance reader copy of The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue!

It’s hard to articulate the emotions I felt holding this artifact of two years’ worth of effort in my hands.

Which got me thinking about this Thought/Question/Wondering from the Doctor Baer AMA:

Do you ever feel the tension between protecting time to work on your book against time that friends and family want you to spend with them? What does that look like, and how on earth do we find the best balance in this (that’ll bring the least amount of guilt, ha!) ? 

So I take some time to explore the tensions between us and the world when we set out to make art.
