I'm trying

I know, it's been a good two weeks since my last post. I keep meaning to write and it just keeps not happening. 'Tis the season though. The holiday madness. Things at work have been quite busy and interesting, but there will be more on that in a couple weeks, so stay tuned!
I'm trying to finish my exploratory draft this month. I do have some sort of idea regarding what's going to happen now, so it's push time. If I manage it, this one will have taken nine months, as compared to the year it took me to write the first draft of my first novel. And yes, I know, I need to hurry up and submit that first one. There's just one problem with that. I've been working on a synopsis, as that's a required part of a submission for many, many publishing houses and agents. My synopsis has been through a couple major edits, and I'm still not happy with it. It's boring. I don't know how to fix it. Maybe I should just throw it out and start over again. Hmm. We'll see.
So I fly home for the holidays on Christmas Eve. I'm really excited to be on the West Coast for almost two weeks! Here's my plan: read a lot, write a lot, spend time with my family and my godchildren (and a couple close friends), and maybe spend some time playing a cheesy old computer game. Maybe King's Quest IV. I did always love that one, with all the fairy tale and mythology elements . . .
Anyway. I should get moving, as I'm at work. I'll try to be here more often, but I always say that, and we all know how it actually goes! Change is blowing in on the winter winds. Keep a weather eye out!
