Edit: Well, I guess I missed a bunch of posts. Thanks a bunch for all the votes, folks! I'll be sure to get the next contest up and running promptly.
Oh, gosh.
I bounce between stoked and apprehensive about the whole thing. My latest draft got some very positive feedback from beta readers, so I've gone ahead and splurged on professional editing (and budgeted for a swanky cover). It's hard to say with certainty when it might actually be released, having never gone through the process before (proofing, formatting, copyrighting, ISBNing, ARCing? Marketing? etc.), but I'm hoping to have it out before the end of the year.
I do intend to publish it as a real physical book in order to satisfy a life-long dream, but I can't promise it will be available as such in all markets and territories in that format. We might have to make arrangements for me to ship out physical copies to you guys if you're really keen on paper. I'll be sure to let you know when I finally hit the "publish" button.
