I don't know how many drafts of the synopsis I've written and trashed, but I give up! After writing and re-writing whole new drafts of the blasted thing, I've gone back to my original and I'm just going to send it in to Blooming Tree Press, the mess that it is. I just can't look at it anymore. The holiday has fed my belly well, but my creativity is a little dry right now. Probably from all the stress of the job/health crisis and making the final decisions.
Anyway, I'm rambling in chaos now, but I will send off my little chapter and synopsis and just hope the editors can see something worth having in there. What I really want to do right now is read. Just dive into the stack of YA books I haven't read yet and get lost for a while. But it will have to wait until after Christmas.
I am leaving my job at that time, but my DH will also be preparing to leave his as he heads to MLA for some interviews (we hope!) In the meantime, my health is still rough and I'm hoping Christmas will bring some sorely needed rest and better blood test results. (RA stinks!)
Shake it all off...good thoughts, now!
Praying for all the best for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteDon't stress about your synopsis. I'm sure it's fine. Good luck with your submission.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy, Mary Ann. And best of luck with the whole submission process. I hope something good comes of it soon.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck, also, to your husband in his job pursuits. That's always stressful.
