As the year comes to a close, I’ve had to put my writing career on hold for a few weeks. Like many people, I have a lot on my plate at the moment, and the little productive time I’ve had to invest in front of a computer has been unfortunately eaten up by the unyelding deadlines I had to meet.

The good news is that my holiday schedule is somewhat relaxed this year (by which I mean I’m working full-time, but don’t have multiple Christmas dinners and New Year parties to attend), and that I get some time off in early January. So I should be able to get started on Book the Second then. My summary bible is good enough, my synopsis is finished (although only in the notebook I work with on the bus – I haven’t typed it yet), and most importantly I’m chomping at the bit, counting down the days until I can afford to get back to writing.

But first there’s some partying to be done. So Happy Holidays, people!
