I’m going to write a book!

My book proposal has been approved. I’m going to write an Emacs book!
I plan to work on it during evenings and weekends over the next year.
I’ve tried not to make my schedule too optimistic considering I don’t
have a good feel of my workload. If I finish it earlier than
planned—before my birthday, if possible—then that would be awesome.

=D Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I’m going to be a properly published author!

Random Emacs symbol: eshell-wait-for-process – Function: Wait until PROC has successfully completed.
