Tis’ the season and all that comes with it! Christmas music, brightly wrapped packages under a festive tree, visits from friends and family, and lots of Holiday cheer.
Tis’ the season and all that comes after it! Credit card bills, putting away all those decorations, and figuring out where the heck I hid everything I put away when making room for the decorations! Don’t forget the gift returns – especially that hideous sweater.
I’ll take what follows the holidays because the Season is so very worth it. The thing I look forward to most of all when the holidays are over is getting back to my writing. The key-tapping definitely goes on hold during the holidays because there never seems to be enough quiet time to focus. It took me several years to stop feeling annoyed and guilty about not writing for weeks.
I do manage to make some notes because the characters and story in my head never seem to celebrate Christmas – they just kind of mull around waiting for me to notice them. They make sure I don’t forget about them by floating into my head several times a day, usually at inappropriate times – while I’m driving, while I’m in the shower, and their favorite, when I’m falling asleep.
Don’t worry about putting your writing to the side if you can’t find the time for a few weeks. Your story and characters are waiting for you and you might find that the time off has served to freshen your bank of ideas.
So, enjoy the Season and all that it involves for you. Take pride in what you’ve accomplished during this past year and resolve to make 2018 a better year for yourself and those you cherish.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and enjoy whatever Holiday you choose to celebrate!
