I finished redrafting Metrognomes! Then I got ready for the meeting. Jay and Molly both showed up, and it all went very well. Her character designs are fantastic. I made a few suggestions, and she incorporated most of them right there. Her interpretation of Jy'ty'tity (introduced in "Worse than a Gremlin"), in particular, is hilarious. Some of the characters she drew actually don't show up until books II and III of the series, but she wanted to draw them anyway. Our next meeting is set for the 26th to discuss the interior illustrations. Then we meet on April 30th to go over her sketches and discuss cover art. Then we wrap on June 25th when she turns it all in finished. So that's the plan.
