That's lots sooner than I thought.<br /><br />Okay! Maybe you could have gotten me a slightly longer deadline? ;) I have the story idea all set, at least, but I've never written a story from idea to finished that quickly. Sounds like a challenge!Sabrina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218305456791199409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-5821702881309486192011-12-23T15:57:23.759-08:002011-12-23T15:57:23.759-08:00That lamb thing sounds amazing!

Insanity! I hope you enjoy your holiday and manage to find some writing mojo too.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121128358718751074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-83630578520772001772011-12-23T14:49:51.864-08:002011-12-23T14:49:51.864-08:00Those are wonderful traditions, Sabrina.

I love all things cranberry, so I will definitely have to try that.<br /><br />I go through long dry spells, too, though I sometimes find that when I force myself to write, I produce better work than when I'm "inspired." I think it has to do with the "murder your darlings" idea - inspiration often comes with many pesky darlings :)<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Sarah McCanlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692009969291537927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-63293911403961887152011-12-23T12:00:30.541-08:002011-12-23T12:00:30.541-08:00I love your traditions, Sabrina.

Imagine me as the wizard of Oz bestowing a gift to you when I say, "There are writers all over the world who are known for their impressive...writings, and yet they have no more talent than you. What do they have that you don't have? A deadline." So I'm getting you a deadline for Christmas this year. :)Melanie Crousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353025724182677932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-80508471399602734052011-12-23T08:55:43.380-08:002011-12-23T08:55:43.380-08:00Ooh, minesweeper...Ooh, minesweeper...Melanie Crousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353025724182677932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-53756838228299562332011-12-22T22:21:54.374-08:002011-12-22T22:21:54.374-08:00Boots isn't creepy.

She seems to like those type of characters already at age seven.<br /><br />Your Christmas dishes all sound so yummy, and we read T'was the Night Before Christmas on Christmas eve too. Love that poem. :)MaryAnn Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618345950149423623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-81324478009663396632011-12-22T22:01:29.710-08:002011-12-22T22:01:29.710-08:00Your traditions sound wonderful, and exotic, and.....Your traditions sound wonderful, and exotic, and...scrumptious.<br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Oh, and on 'The Map', have you ever heard Brian Regan's bit? He is so funny, but sadly, I couldn't find a decent youtube clip (you can get his stand up on Netflix, however).Susan Buttarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456005411871122298noreply@blogger.com
