The Perks of Being on Vacation

This week I'm on vacation from work. I couldn't afford to go away, but it's great to be at home and write whenever I want, instead of writing around my work schedule. I've been able to work on my writing every day so far, and I have 3 days of vacation left.
On Sunday night, I wrote until 2:30 am, and slept in on Monday, until around 10:30. That's a perk of being on vacation - I could never do that during a regular work week!
I re-wrote (yet again) all the pages of What Luck that I've written so far. I gave my manuscript to my sister to read on Sunday, and she said the prologue seemed too long and drawn out for a pre-teen's attention span. She might be right. So that night, I re-read the prologue, and I noticed it did seem longer than I thought. I also noticed places where I could cut out words, phrases and sentences and tighten it up. I cut it from 15 pages down to 13 1/2 pages, and I think it's better. I re-wrote the first chapter, too.
I know I'll want to re-write the prologue again, after I have it critiqued at the SCBWI conference on Saturday. I'll see how that goes, and after I follow the advice from the critique, I'm going to put it aside and let it be!
I have been working on new scenes, but right now they're very rough, and I'm not too satisfied with them yet. I didn't bring anything to read to our WWG meeting tonight - I didn't feel that anything was ready to read. I usually re-write something at least once or twice before I feel that it's ready. I need to get over my re-writing compulsion and keep moving on.
I want to make the most of my last 3 days of writing freedom before going back to work, so tomorrow I plan to write several pages of new stuff.
It's getting late, and I'm getting tired, so I'll stop now, to sleep and dream of the perks of being a full-time writer someday...
