I guess I'm posting monthly now. Oops.
January has been an incredibly busy month work-wise, and writing has been confined to that hour between getting a quad latte and catching the bus. While I still don't enjoy writing synopses, and have yet to come up with one shorter than ten pages, it turns out a synopsis is actually incredibly helpful when it comes to checking the pacing of your novel.
This Friday, I'm going on my first real vacation in a year - we'll see how I survive away from work for a full week. I'm busy running wash, buying sunscreen, and figuring out how many pairs of cutoff jeans and tank tops one really needs in the Caribbean. I'm always productive when I leave home, so I'm looking forward to making more progress on my current novel.
I'm also looking forward to being a bit more disconnected from the world while on vacation. By which I mean checking email twice a day instead of fifteen times. Horrifying, I know.
