It's Off!
I hope the entry makes it on time. Because it's going to a PO Box, they wouldn't guarantee overnight delivery. Still, though, as long as it's there on the 17th I should be fine. I spent the weekend tweaking the synopsis and finally settled on a third version.
The first version didn't show enough of the plot elements nor the character arc. The second version was all about the political plot Isabella unravels. While interesting, it really wasn't what I wanted. The third draft combined the best of the first two versions and really explained the darker side that Isabella teeters toward. She's becoming the the thing she fears the most. That was important to include.
So no new words to show for this project, but some progress of a different sort. I'm trying to figure out a way to work steadily on my many various projects so all of them move forward. Balance is not my forte. Sigh.
