Feel free to hop around and say
hello to everyone!
The optional question for this month is: It's holiday time! Are the holidays a time to catch up or
fall behind on writer goals?
December is such a busy month I try not to have any writing goals – per se. But naturally, there are lists to make, misplace, and find the day before Christmas when they are no longer useful. There are holiday cards – and letters! Does anyone write those lengthy chronicles of everything that happened in your neck of the woods for the last year? I receive one every year and thoroughly enjoy reading about life on the outskirts of Saskatchewan. My one and only response was promptly returned, stamped ADDRESS UNKNOWN. Hmm… [Dear Sam, bless your heart, if by some wrinkle in time (get it?) you’re reading this, keep the letters coming and call me. The number is still the same.] But, honestly,

While there’s no shortage of
inspiration this time of year, it helps to have an empty First Thing (next year) basket handy for ideas you can’t yet get to ;-)
So far, there’s only one message in my basket:
Have you
ever gone caroling? Do you decorate much for the holidays?
Merry Christmas, everyone!
