Invisible Progress

Novelling has been the back burner for most of the past month, what with visiting family and our impending move (and all the stuff I'm supposed to be staying on top of, like doing my part to sustain our self-employed status). Getting to a signed lease for the next house has taken forever and a day, but has finally been achieved, and now I'm checking the calendar and thinking, "okay, not too soon to start packing."

In the meantime I've taken the tweaks and polishes as far as they will go without derailing my sanity, and in between all the other tasks that occupy my days I've pulled together a pretty darned good (I hope) query letter and synopsis and have embarked on agent research. Plan is to finalize the "most desired" list by the end of May and send out the first round of queries in early June, right before we move. I'd do it sooner, but Mercury is retrograde and there aren't any good dates between now and then for initiating important things like a novelling career (or a move to a new house).
