Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

 And Happy Solstice and Chanukah and so on and so forth.  I hope what ever holiday is important to you and your family is wonderful and safe.  I hope all your memories you make are wonderful and that you remember those who have gone before with happiness, (though tinged with sadness they are not there).

And don't forget to write!

Happy New Year!

The Holiday Season and Writing

 It is the holiday season, keeping us all busy and seeing friends and family we haven't seen in months, maybe all year.  It is a happy time, but our writing suffers.

This last month has been horrible for myself for writing, between being super sick and the holidays my writing is suffering.  I can't remember the last time I had "butt in chair" time, other then right now.  So here are some things I plan to do for the rest of the year and all of next year.

1) After I check my email in the  morning, I will give myself 15 minutes to write.  Either its to pound out some word count or editing some standing stuff I have.  Maybe it's an outline, maybe its just organizing, but I will give myself time.

2) Don't be too mad with yourself if that time doesn't happen.  I'd like to see myself writing every day, but life happens.  But don't use that as an excuse.  

3) Do what you say  you are going to do.  Today, I plan on doing some organization.  I better well do it. :)

Wishing you a happy holiday season and see you next year!

Happy writing.
