You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone

I'm still alive, I promise.

I finished Draft 1.0 of Princess X and handed it off to the editor. Right now, I'm powering through the Maplecroft rewrites, for I'm set to hand those in by the end of the week - before I fly to Florida, come Monday. When I get back from Florida, I have to pack up for a trip to Houston; and then I get a week home before I pack up again for Detroit. And of course, I want a draft of Jacaranda* done by the end of January, because I need to start on Maplecroft's followup.

So I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little quiet, over here. I hope to come up for air this weekend, perhaps - and produce a proper post, with actual content and stuff. Then again, I might just crash and sleep for a couple of days. Hard to say.

ANYWAY. Happy holidays, whichever ones you celebrate - if in fact you celebrate anything at all. Happy December, if that's the case, and a fabulous New Year to all!



* I've added a few thousand words, but I set it aside temporarily - in favor of finishing the Maplecroft rewrites. This way, I might get to do some work on Jacaranda in Florida, in the hotel that inspired the story.
