Christmas dinner has been eaten, the decorations around the house now look tacky and everyone is sick of carols, not to mention the sight of any more festive food. Yep, it's that time of year when the waiting game begins. No, I'm not talking about New Year, I'm talking about me having to wait for any word on my current submissions and my next release in February.

It's pure agony, almost to the point distraction. I haven't been able to work on my current work, Light of the Body (which is going well, over 25k now), as it had to take a back seat as I stuffed myself with all the Christmas goodies that somehow end up on the plate no matter how 'careful' I was with any notion of diet.

Then again, I plan to add more wordage to it tonight. I had to solidify a couple of plot points in my mind as I satisfied my Christmas Spirit and I think I've now got things worked out, at least enough to move me onwards with the story for now. I have also pretty much figured out how the ending will happen, again a good thing ;-)

Full steam ahead into 2010...and the wait begins.
