[One of my illustrations]
I'm now done with my part of the illustrations. My illustrator is almost halfway done with the second-to-last of the sets of illustrations. My later ones plus hers make me want to revisit my early ones with my improved skills.

I'm right now skimming through the last 3 books in the series, preparatory to sending them to my beta reader. She's already gone through the first five and has sent feedback. That was one major concern. I now have her feedback, some feedback from a few other beta readers on early books, and an editor's feedback. I'm still hoping for more.

As soon as that's done, I will enter everything I have into Scrivener and will look at them holistically, comparing them to the hero's journey, story grid, and other story formatting guidelines. Once all of this is done, I'll be ready to submit it to my publisher. I feel closer all the time. I'm hoping to get it all published by early summer.
