free time
Today is the first truly free day I've had for as long as I can remember. I'm in my own home and there are no obligations which are immediately pressing. The really beautiful thing about it is that today is not so much an isolated free day but rather the beginning of a big chunk of free time, two whole months between now and my return to the classroom in late August.
I'm almost a bit baffled at what to do with it. I'm spending today thinking about what I really hope to accomplish over the break, trying to order the things I want to do into some sort of prioritized structure. (I know, I know: everyone should be so fortunate as to have this particular dilemma.)
Big long-term priorities include completing my revisions of the first and second books of Imaginary Year, and beginning to send them out to publishers. I also need to spend my grant money before August, which is going to mean completing a big graphic design project (the money is going to pay for postcards, business cards, and ads, none of which are presently designed). Doing "branding" for Imaginary Year is hard, as there's no obvious image that concisely symbolizes the project. I'm open to suggestions here.
More short-term kind of goals include indulging my current David Mamet fixation (yesterday I watched this and today I'll be watching this) and perusing the website for Here Magazine, an engaging little zine about place, which has been redesigned and now features the full text of more articles. |
