Last Week of Summer Break

The last week of summer break has arrived. This always makes me sad, mainly because it means an end to my prolific summer months. No three thousand words a day. No daily submissions off to markets. No Tweeting every hour about how much I've gotten done. I'll have a dry spell until, oh, about Thanksgiving, when I get a few days off and decide to work really hard on something. That fervor might carry me through winter break as well. Last year, I finished two novellas in the November to New Years stretch. Hopefully I can do the same this year.
