I can finally reveal the truth of the
Good Thing that happened a couple weeks ago.
And that this is, I now bear the lofty title of Assistant Editor.
Which is to say, I have been promoted!
My boss told me about this two weeks ago, but it wasn't official until the email went out today. I was holding my breath that it would happen for the last six months or more, and then holding my breath that I wouldn't jinx it from really truly happening for the last two weeks.
But it has happened! It is real!
My responsibilities don't really change at all. I still support all my bosses, and do all the same work, but now I'm hopefully going to be signing up more of my own projects and doing more of my own books. So, same job, just more of it!
Anyway, I have accomplished what I was starting to think was impossible in this industry, which is a promotion, and I am kind of really happy about that.
