Merry Christmas to All!

By now the gifts are opened and the children are hopefully settling down. Our hearts are full of love and feelings of tenderness toward our families and we're thanking our Lord for the Blessings of family.
Extra prayers to all of those who were lonely and homeless on this wondrous day.

I believe most of us have had funny, romantic and sentimental memories that were created today. Memories that can inspire some lovely stories. Think of all that you have done or will do during this happy season. Then I challenge you to write a short story, a chapter for your work in progress, a memoir entry and even be inspired to start a new novel! If not a Christmas story then maybe you'll find inspiration from your New Years Eve Celebrations!
If you'd like to share some of your holiday with me, I'd love to read about it. Just drop it in the comments!

I wish everyone a Blessed season and a Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Keep Writing and Keep Smiling!

Christmas 2013 is nearly here!

I can't believe Halloween and Thanksgiving have come and gone. Christmas is only a week away and I haven't posted since the summer! I apologize for that! So much has been happening. I know that's really NOT a good excuse as most of you are very loyal. That will be my New Years Resolution ...to be more loyal and not allow work, health, etc. to stop me from PUBLISHING my posts.
 Let me begin now by adding another new post directly after this one.  That post will be an actual ENTRY into a writng contest. I am going to be entering directly from my blog!
 I know .... it's an unusual way to enter a writing contest yet very creative of the host, Author Bryan Cohen. Check out the "links" to the contest to read the guidelines and join me with an entry of your own!

Keep Writing, Keep Submitting and always Keep Smiling!
