Wow, the first Wednesday of December! 2022 is almost gone. And what a year it is/was!
Today's post is for the Insecure Writer's Support Group, or IWSG as we lovingly call it! Thanks to our Ninja Captain, Alex J Cavanaugh, who started this and it has exploded into something reliable, respectable and credible.
This month's question is:
It's holiday time! Are the holidays a time to catch up or fall behind on your writer goals?
For me, it depends. It used to be a time for me to fall behind on writing when I had a lot of family around. My kids and such. However, it's become a time for me to catch up since kids are out of the house, holidays are spent with family, but seems like after a few hours of good food, good fun and all that, we're back home and just doing whatever.
As I'm getting older and have an elderly parent in a care facility, I'm going to be spending time with them as often as possible. I've moved over Thanksgiving, but still spent time with family. I (hopefully) will be starting a new job. So that will limit me more than the holidays will, but I've managed it before, I can manage it again.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and hope you have more happy holidays ahead of you.

Hopefully this year is a good writing season for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex! So far so good!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for loving your Parent so much, and caring for them! It can be a hard and lonely road - but it is one I would never trade for the easy path. I got to walk my Mother through the Valley of the Shadow, and now I know the way...
ReplyDeleteKeep Writing, Mel! I love your Blog!
