I am so relieved and excited that I have five days off now! Normal people would probably be planning to take it easy and relax, but not me. Oh no. I have a two-page to-do list, organized by days. It may be the holidays, but I intend to get some things done! My goal during this little break is to write or complete two chapters in each of my three WIPs, and also to edit several chapters in Witches. I also have two crits on the agenda, and I plan to post the revised first chapter of Witches sometime early next week. And I’m not going to mention all the other, non-writing-related things on the list. Like packing. Cleaning. Cooking. I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun. Somehow, I always feel better if I have a lot of things to do. So, Merry Christmas to everyone!
