It looks like it's definitely going to happen. My company is going to be sending me to work in their London office for a few weeks in June. From there, I expect to go to India in July. I'm not really going to get into my level of excitement for this trip since I think it's obvious. Instead, I'm going to write about a vow I made to myself regarding my summer business trips.
I will complete the first draft of my second novel by the time I return from India.
It's only a first draft and I know I went through over twenty drafts for my debut novel Alorya. I don't think I'll be as cautious for my second book as I was my first, so I'll probably only make ten drafts. :-)
The reason for my caution is simple - Once it's out, it's out. If it's worth putting your name on it, it's worth taking the time to make it as good as you can possibly make it.
