I love the things that I do–writing, playing in orchestras–but come December, I am so glad for some time off. There is one more rehearsal and performance for Play Ethic (the chamber orchestra that I’m in), but other than that, nothing. Even though I still work 40 hours per week, I feel like it’s a vacation.
I’ll take a couple of weeks off from writing, and then it’ll be back to it. I’ve got two novels that need another read through, and one that needs a rewrite/revision. This year’s novel will wait a while before I tackle the rewrite.
First thing I need to do is get back into an exercise routine. November is particularly hard on the waist line. We start training for the mini-marathon come January. I’d like to be in some decent shape before then.
