Winter Break and ROW80

Winter Break

Monday was a teacher's workday and I've been off since yesterday for a two-week winter break. I might become busy with writing and home improvement goals, as well as doctor and dental appointments—things I don't have time for when I'm working full-time—but I'm always ecstatic during winter break. I plan on getting a lot done during these two weeks...oh, and I can't forget catching up on sleep. Winter break is one of the perks of being a teacher. Who else is off and enjoying themselves?

ROW80
It's time for a ROW80 update. The current round of A Round of Words in 80 Days runs from October 3rd to December 22nd. My goal during this round of ROW80 is to a) revise one of my WIPs and b) write the outline for a shiny new idea.

I finished these two goals and I'm feeling wonderful. Since I'm off, I'll go through my manuscript again one or more times, the same with my outline. The next round of ROW80 starts January 2nd, so for me that'll be a great way to bring in 2012 with new writing goals.

Enjoy your two-weeks off and congrats on meeting your goals! I met my goal too. I sent my manuscript off to my agent. Now I just have to wait to see what she thinks of it.

Congrats on completing your goals!! That's awesome.

I have a little over a week off from work starting on Friday and I'm really looking forward to it. Sleep is high on my agenda.

Happy Holidays!

Enjoy your time off. I always enjoy this time of year because it's usually when I get a LOT of writing done (and rest too).

Enjoy! :)

Thank you for the comments, everyone. I'm either getting a lot or very little done during my break depending on what perspective I take.

Happy holidays.
