Can you believe the holidays are just about here? I mean, seriously, I looked at the calendar yesterday and nearly fell off my chair…I am on vacation for Thanksgiving in two short weeks (In Hawaii…thus the picture. I know, I know, it is a bit disturbing).
By the time I get back, it’ll be December. Close your eyes too long after that, and it’s 2010.
WOW!!!
Now, while I do love the holidays, and I REALLY love going on vacation, it does through my whole “how to balance writing” thing out the window as I add more and more to the mile-long to-do list. For example, look at my writing to-do’s:
- Reread ms for Emotionally Intense and work on revisions with editor
- Finish revisions on new NF proposal and get to agent ASAP
- Work on revisions for Lacrimosa and get to crit buds. Goal, polished up by the new year
- NaNo novel (yeah…I’m thinking not so much…)
And that doesn’t even include the mss I read and crit, my work schedule, etc.
Obviously, something has to give. So, I decided I would have a “holiday” schedule for the blog and only post three times a week or so. Of course, that is always subject to change if I get exciting news, or an urge to post more!
Please continue to come on by, leave me lots of comments. And maybe we’ll have to do a contest or something for the holidays too!!!
How are you guys going to handle the increased craziness?

Holidays aren’t stressful for me because I do shopping well in advance and I keep things simple. Hawaii sounds like a great way to spend Thanksgiving!
I also think it’s great that you know your limits and no what to cut out to stay above water. Good luck!

well…thanks….most of the time I know my limits. But usually only after I’ve swallowed a little too much water! *hugs*
