Not writing is way more stressful for me than trying to get the turkey cooked in time for dinner. And believe me, it's rarely cooked in time.Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-52169749447066391402008-12-20T15:49:00.000-05:002008-12-20T15:49:00.000-05:00I find it hard to really get into things, since I ...I find it hard to really get into things, since I celebrated Christmas last month in a book I'm writing. I feel like I'm doing it all over again with my real family. But the kids are into it, and that makes me happy!Sarah Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385403676603047861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-41059381972925444512008-12-20T07:27:00.000-05:002008-12-20T07:27:00.000-05:00Far surpasses my abilities at rhyming or Christmas...Far surpasses my abilities at rhyming or Christmas, but shall be fun to read.marieconley3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15233621656503087366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-6699943894546864142008-12-19T19:52:00.000-05:002008-12-19T19:52:00.000-05:00Because I have so much else I'm ~supposed~ to be d...Because I have so much else I'm ~supposed~ to be doing, ideas for things to write come thick and fast. I try to jot them down to work on later.<BR/><BR/>I celebrate Yule, which is a few days earlier than Christmas. Having those few extra days between my holiday and New Year's Eve is great, because we throw a themed NYE party. This is our 10th annual, and the theme is Camelot, and (not for the first time) I have lured the Muse into doggerel. <BR/><BR/>For example (and this goes on five separate signs along the walkway to the front door): <BR/><BR/>Through the forest on their quests<BR/><BR/>did Arthur's knights adventure hearty<BR/><BR/>and we, to all our honored guests<BR/><BR/>give this Camelot New Year's party. <BR/><BR/>Affirm-a knave.<BR/><BR/>I will most definitely share some of my Yule filks next week.<BR/><BR/>Blessings.

I'm not that productive. I mostly blame work (retail--enough said) and my computer dying, but eh, I think after NaNo I'm always a bit sluggish and don't do much. <BR/><BR/>It's been better the last two days; I wrote a short I'm happy with, rediscovered an old idea I'm refurbishing, and am energized to work on other shorts.<BR/><BR/>I think it's fine, though, if people take time off during the month and holidays--it's probably a lot better so you don't have more stress. ;)<BR/><BR/>~MercMerchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164221022350926808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-65861611251442964512008-12-19T15:24:00.000-05:002008-12-19T15:24:00.000-05:00The season totally slows me down, writing wise.
