When I was in college, I thought Thanksgiving was a good time to see my family, visit a few friends I hadn't seen since August, watch some football, and of course...get ahead on my homework.  By my sophomore year, I realized that I would NEVER accomplish that final goal.  I only bring this up because now at Thanksgiving, I think of seeing family, cooking turkey, trying to get some good deals on Black Friday, putting up Christmas decorations, watching football, and of course...getting some much needed writing done.  I have to fight the urge for the writing.  I know it will never happen.  Sure, if I get a chance to edit a few things - great!  But real, actual writing?  It is better to spend time relaxing with family than worrying about trying to find time to write.  And not to worry.  November 29 is almost here.  I can start writing again then.
