Yahoo! It's officially Christmas break! It's a great time to do the things we procrastinated during NaNoWriMo, like organizing our closets! Thanks to all of you for your thoughtful Christmas gifts. The sweets are delicious and the gift cards will come in handy as I intend to spend lots of time at the theatre catching up on all the movies I've been missing!
I urge you to make time this break to read something similar to your NaNoWriMo book. This activity will keep the genre fresh in your mind until we start revising in January. I advise you to RESIST revising yet. It's too soon. You need to maintain a healthy distance between you and your rough draft so you can develop a perspective. Go for a long walk and THINK about your book - its characters, its theme, its settings. TALK about your book to a good friend or WRITE about the book in a journal but don't actually REVISE the book. Not yet.
Have a restful break. See you in January. Remember, we start revisions January 12th.
Mrs. P.
