My Writing Christmas List

1. Peace enough to dream stories...


2. ...and characters full of heart.


3. Love to grow them.


4. Friends to read them.


5. A box of fine pens to write them.


6. College-ruled spiral notebooks with pockets and durable covers to hold them.


7. Delicious books to savor and inspire them.


8. An encouraging--and challenging--critique group to better them.


9. Time to remake them.


10. Joy in the process.

Editors, agents, publication...all those are nice, too :), but it's good to articulate the essentials occasionally.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and fabulous New Year to everyone!
