How to Get Some Writing Done Durng the Christmas Holidays

By Irene S. Roth

Writing during the holidays can be hard. There is always something inviting and exciting to distract us from our main intentions. This usually results in frustration and even guilt for writers. In addition, if we don’t write, we won’t be productive. The year will end, and we will be wondering why we didn’t write even a bit for a whole month. At this point, guilt will set in, and it will be harder to get back into our writing rhythms in the new year. Therefore, it is important to find time to write during the Christmas holidays. We really can both write and enjoy ourselves with the family and friends. I will show how we can do so in this e-book.
