Seven Days Left In the Year…
Time to Wrap Up, Look Back, and Then Turn Forward… You got a week. And rest is a great idea as well. The last three days here we spent really wrapping up a ton of stuff, making decisions, and setting up systems. Now we turn forward completely and finish cleaning up and turning our attention to new projects. And a ton new learning for me and Kris. Actually, a lot of it is relearning, just been a few years since we have done some things. And we are resting. So thank you all for the holiday wishes and I hope in return your holiday is a great one. And a…

For Those Who Celebrate This Holiday…
Enjoy! We have three Christmas trees here in our condo, and a dwindling plate of holiday sugar cookies Kris made. Pizza with friends tomorrow night, Jewish deli on Thursday for lunch. But mostly we will be writing through the entire time because that’s what we do. Hope you all have fun doing what you do on this holiday.

Sometimes Just Take a Day Off…
So It Is Christmas Eve… I have no plans to take any time away from my office, mostly because after this last fall, I am just so far behind, and I want to be ready to get writing solidly into the new year. But even with that, I watched a holiday movie tonight before heading up here again. I doubt that Kris will take any time off either. She has sent out six updates on her challenge Sprint to 2024 and she is really enjoying the writing. But as two professional writers, we will spend some holiday time together, including a turkey meal (sort of taking the place of our…

Stay Safe Out There…
Holiday Here In the States… It seems a ritual on this holiday to blow stuff up for no particular reason. It scares all animals and really hurts all the military vets who saw one form of action or another while serving. And down here where the temperature today hit 112 degrees F and is about 8% humidity, blowing stuff up with lots of sparks for some reason unknown to the idiots causes a ton of fires. The professional fireworks displays put on by a few of the casinos make sense, and are done safely, but all the illegal fireworks are far from safe, especially in the hands of someone with…

Happy Holiday
Hope It Has Been a Good One… And that you are not one of the millions trapped in airports. And are not doing Trains, Planes, and Automobiles to get home. What do two writers do on Christmas Eve? We worked for some hours this morning in our offices, then Kris went out for a run and I walked to our favorite pizza place to meet her. That’s right, wonderful pizza. And a wonderful walk home together. Then into this office to work some more, watch the Raider’s figure out a way to lose once again, them more time back in the office before I cooked us a steak dinner. Kris…

Holiday and a Cat
Figured It Had Been a While… So tonight, a picture of the cat (Angel) who spends a lot of time on my lap watching my screen as I do posts. We put up one of three trees and Angel claimed it. It is now very festive around here. A cat and a Christmas tree. What more can you want out of a blog?

Thanksgiving Holidays
We All Have Our Stories and Traditions… I had no tradition for this holiday growing up. None. My family was so unpleasant at its very core, a holiday forcing all of them into one place was my definition of a nightmare. So after five years of being out on my own, my father and his new wife (worse than my mother, which I must say took some doing) were in Palm Springs over Thanksgiving where I had a nice place and was a golf professional. Stupidly, I offered to cook for them. The wife would have nothing to do with that, so she forced us to go up the Tram…

What Did I Do On My Holiday?
Got That Question a Number of Times… Answer is basically the same thing I do every normal day of the year. I worked on getting the workshop sale up and going. You can read all about that in the last two blogs. 50% off until January 4th on everything on Teachable. (Just put in the code YearEnd after you hit purchase.) I worked with Kris at lunches on more classes. I will record those soon. And I did a bunch of recording as well including the Motivational Monday I just put up a bit ago. I wore a red shirt to record those because I recorded them on Christmas. (Does…

Only 60 Hours Left!!
Just Hundreds Away From Next Stretch Goal!!! More free books and another free Pop-Up writers’ workshop when we hit it. And I think we can hit two or three more, actually. There are just 60 hours left on the WMG Holiday Spectacular 2021. But that is enough time. And the higher we go, the more free stuff every backer gets. And classes writers get. And remember the two special classes in this one. And discounts for other workshops. Plus the really cool part of getting an original holiday story every day from November 25th to January 1st. That is 38 original stories. Yes, original stories!! If you are going to…
