Writing Tips
for the Holiday Season
 Utilize your journal. Holidays are interesting, stressful, and sometimes, lonely and sad times. Writing in your journal is a good way of expressing and acknowledging your feelings and also opening up your writer's mind to new writing opportunities. Get in touch with your emotions and thoughts and use those experiences and feelings as fuel and fodder for your writing's characters, storylines, and plot ideas.
Write a letter to someone you haven't seen or corresponded with in a long time. Writing is always good excercise for the mind. Sending a nice, descriptive letter to a friend or relative that you haven't been in touch with is not only good writing practice, but also an enriching activity. Imagine how many hearts you could cheer if you took the time to pen a note to a friend or regaled your Aunt Susy with a thrilling tale of your summer's adventures.
Write a list of ten things that you are thankful for and put it near your computer as a reminder of how blessed you are and what really matters for those days when you become discouraged about your writing and you feel that life is a drag as a result.
Write a short story about either Thanksgiving or Christmas and give it an interesting twist--make it about you spending it in another country, or another planet, or wherever your mind wants to take you. Submit it to a few ezines. You never know what may come of it. The point of this is to expand your writing and to try new things. It builds character, which in turn helps you to build your characters better.
Interview a family member about Thanksgiving or Christmas. It's a great way of polishing your writing and interview skills and finding out interesting facts about your subject. It is also great material that you can use in your writing. An inquisitive and creative mind is an invaluable writing tool.
Kiss somebody under the mistletoe. Just imagine all of the sappy and steamy pages that you'll be able to generate in your current or upcoming manuscript!
Write down a few of the challenges that you have encountered over this past year and the things that you did to overcome (or endure) them. Realize that you made it this far and that there are good things ahead for you. If you can look behind you, the hardest part is already over.
Remember that whenever you are feeling a little overwhelmed or low.
Write down your writing dreams and goals for the upcoming year. No dream is too big to dream. Our dreams are previews of our realities, if we will only dare to dream. So, dream, my friend. Dream.
