Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! I’ll be returning from vacation in 2013 with some new posts as well as contests for writers! Stay tuned for ebook cover design giveaways, copyediting help for synopses, and guest blog posts next year! And as always, if there’s something you want to know about writing or reading or grammar, don’t hesitate to ask here or on my Facebook Page.

Get on the Writers “Nice List” by writing some time before 2013. I’ve been naughty lately, and by that, I simply mean I’ve written naught. New Year’s Resolutions, anyone?

Here’s a weird Santa image to get your creative muscles flowing. What’s the story here? Write one.
