Shipping off to London

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.
