Ha! "Keeping you guys posted." Well, a lot of you knew Wish Flight was my NaNo novel. I've finished 30k on it so far.
I also have a new synopsis.
Quote:
Four princesses have been raised by their mother kept separate from their war-ravaged country. One night, the very night they received word their father is dead, their supposedly-secret location is stormed, their castle burnt to the ground, and their mother captured. They are left alone in a country they know nothing about. Only one place is truly safe: their aunt and uncle's lands many miles away, far out of the reach of the soldiers who will hunt them. A quiet man with secrets hidden in a shapeshifting key is the only one willing to guide them across a war-ravaged country, but can they trust a self-described rebel?
A few things about the plot have changed:
~The reveal that the rebels are the good guys comes a lot more slowly (so it wouldn't be something I would want the reader to understand just from having read the synopsis). How does this feel?
~Rogalian is now a main character and the POV shifts between him and the eldest of the princesses, so he needed mention in the synopsis.
~Magic is becoming more important to the plot, so his shapeshifting key also needed to be worked in.
Interestingly, I think I worked in a ploy I hate and used it correctly. The "asking a question at the end of the synopsis" ploy. Usually those questions are so. obviously. obvious. But I think the one I used is a legit question and not automatically answerable.
Seriously, I've had this story bopping around in my head for several years, and I've never found name for it. And I usually love creating names. 
As it is, any suggestions? 
The girlies all have names, and I hope to show everyone an essence map of the dears sometimes.
I'm a panster, you see.
Keep us updated.
