You do have to plan ahead and be willing to write about Christmas in July. It's hard at times. This is the first year I put out a Christmas story and I started writing it last January. <br /><br />My favorite Christmas dish is the traditional Italian Christmas Eve meal of the Seven Fishes.<br /><br />Your book sounds great!<br />Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-52910014731154863102013-12-23T13:27:09.574-05:002013-12-23T13:27:09.574-05:00HI, Krista!

But it did set me up for making a doc with ideas in it and saving so I don't forget. Occasionally, I'll pull one up and runaway with it. Good luck!Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-70274019791322822442013-12-23T13:18:44.793-05:002013-12-23T13:18:44.793-05:00Such an easy question.

As to writing, whenever I get the chance, and my subconscious works full time when I'm in the middle of a book. Happy Holidays...<br />jean hart stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287808234288499369noreply@blogger.com
