Things accomplished during my vacation (in no particular order):
- finished the latest rewrite of my novel, drafted a query letter, and began searching for potential agents
- drafted 2/3 of the plot for my next novel
painted my toenails light green, in honor of springtime- cleaned the bathroom
- managed to feed myself for an entire week without resorting to take-out
- gave a lecture at NYU to a group of law students working with Iraqi refugees
- resumed working on a short story that I began over the summer but never finished
- began the process of finding a writer’s group
- did yoga, several times in class and once on my own
- stayed up late to finish a book
- embarrassed my husband by sending him flowers at work, which were delivered live on CNN
Which is to say, it was a pretty kick-ass vacation.
