It's amazing how fast this month has flown by! It seems as if the publishing world is starting to slow and with that comes time to rest and prep for next year. Instead of setting New Year's goals now, I'm deciding on goals for winter/Christmas break. Does anyone else do that?
So far, my list looks something like this:
* Finish writing book two
* Send out at least 10 magazine queries (2 at least to new magazines I've never queried or haven't broken into)
* Organize my mountain of papers on book publicity
* Watch season 7 of Gilmore Girls on DVD
* Read! Lots!
That's what I've got so far. I might be traveling a bit, but I'll still be able to write in the car and get those queries out. I won't send them over Christmas break, though. Just prep them and have a batch ready to go next year. I've been having more time to do that recently since I've been foregoing regularly scheduled TV to watch the Christmas specials. Last night it was Charlie Brown and tonight it's Shrek the Halls and the Grinch--my favorite.
And did anyone see Dancing with the Stars last night? I love Helio, but I was SO sad about Mel B! I voted for her all season. It's only the second time I've voted during a Dancing season. In season one, I backed Kelly Monaco since I'm a big General Hospital fan. I was completely addicted to the Spice Girls when I was a kid, so it felt very nostalgic to see Mel B on TV. (PS- could Maks be any more adorable?!) :)

I need to finish season 6 of GG! Love that show!
I don't know how you find the time to write the articles too. Good for you!
Gilmore Girls rocks, as do Christmas movies!! Have you seen His and Her Christmas with the guy that plays Christopher in GG. You'd probably love it. I'm counting down my favorite Cheesy Christmas ones on my LJ blog. That ones definitely on it. But there's so many out there, it's hard to keep track of them all.
