How did my writing plate get so full?

I'm trying to get the opening chapters right on an urban fantasy, while simultaneously trying to carry through the emotional growth to a satisfying conclusion in the synopsis (thou shall repeat after me:  I love writing the synopsis, I love writing the synopsis).  I've got a fantastic synopsis written that I've been asked to write into a proposal as a mainstream romance (don't be a hater - I took months to write that synopsis).  And I just sat through another amazing Mary Buckham workshop which makes me want to really dive into character development (her motto:  you can't say "it's hard").

So, if I can't use the "h" word (lol) I'd have to say writing is challenging, writing is time consuming, but writing is fun!  Come on.  Haven't you ever heard Frank Sinatra sing:  I've got you under my skin.  I've got you deep in the heart of me. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
