Fortunately I feel inspired to write all the time. I do like listening to Christmas carols while writing. They are inspiring and I think I do write more during the holidays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652875193826011637.post-78726971707311154822011-12-24T18:41:20.937-05:002011-12-24T18:41:20.937-05:00Hi Raquel,

This should make a great short story or scene in a book. Hope you get inspired to write something christmasy ;)<br />MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!<br /><br />Hi Mike,<br />Please don't feel bad for not blogging or writing over the holidays. I intend to take a little break myself. I need it! I'll probably do some editing over the holidays. But to bid farewell to 2011, next Tuesday I am meeting with a dear friend who's also a writer. We want to brainstorm and revise some pieces before the year's over ;)<br />I'll see you in 2012.

One thing I do try and do, however, is write a number of draft queries to specific agents/publishers with whatever WIP or short story I have ready. Then I relax, knowing that sometime in the New Year I just have to click on 'Send' and feel a sense of achievement. It's that kind of bureaucratic proces I'm really bad at during the rest of the year.<br />And Merry Christmas, Claudia.Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652875193826011637.post-27170650790140439962011-12-23T00:37:11.724-05:002011-12-23T00:37:11.724-05:00I hadn't thought about letting the holidays in...I hadn't thought about letting the holidays inspire my writing, but I should - especially after the fight I witnessed at my church Christmas party last Saturday.

I think most writers will end up doing that, waiting till after Dec. 25th ;)<br />Merry Christmas to you, Charlie, and your family!<br /><br />Hi Kelly,<br />Well, if being comfortably tucked in at home while drinking a bit of wine inspires you to write, then why not? LOL! Glad you enjoyed this Christmas-theme post. Wishing you and your family all the best for the holidays!<br /><br />Hi Carole Anne,<br />How interesting! I had no idea you were an actress before. Maybe your previous craft has helped your writing in so many ways.<br />Happy Christmas to you, too!<br /><br />Hi Jay,<br />Yes, the holidays can do that. We can become introspective during this time of year. I wonder if it's due to ending the year and wanting to refelct on our past accomplisments. Memories are good! They can be cathartic or inspiring for our next piece.<br />Merry Christmas, Jacopo!Claudia Zurchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302024950570710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652875193826011637.post-61203498945658279922011-12-22T08:00:24.973-05:002011-12-22T08:00:24.973-05:00Holidays, Christmas especially, definitely do insp...Holidays, Christmas especially, definitely do inspire me! I just don't think about writing or acting during this time, though. I do everything I usually do at Christmas, I have fun, I enjoy my introspective moments of the day taking notes of everything. When the holidays are over, I have material to work on. In my case, it's the memory of it all that makes it more magical than it already is. I only work on my memories of the events and the emotions they create, rather than directly on the events themselves as they happen.<br /><br />Merry Christmas Claudia!Jay Paolonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09647807643476130105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652875193826011637.post-67696085827457713502011-12-22T07:17:01.326-05:002011-12-22T07:17:01.326-05:00This time, yes.

I was an actress, therefore used to being different characters, but funnily enough, never bothered to put together a detailed psychological etc. description of my characters before beginning to write. Now I'm living the characters in my head, as metioned, not sure why, maybe something to do with my life at the moment, but whatever the reason, I'm pleased a great deal of the work is somehow happening despite me. :0) Happy Christmas, Claudia.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957545161716269528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652875193826011637.post-38100235991945069892011-12-22T06:12:34.599-05:002011-12-22T06:12:34.599-05:00Hi Claudia!

What you are saying is that even if the holidays take us out of our writing routine, if we want to write, we will find a way! I totally agree! Love your line not to write, drink and drive--so why not call Nez Rouge and relax in the back seat, writing while they drive you safely home?! Happy Holidays to you and yours!Kelly L.
