10 Ways Writing Books is Like Decorating for Christmas


by Lynn H. Blackburn @LynnHBlackburn

I love Christmas. It’s my favorite. It has been since I was a little bitty thing and I could barely sleep on Christmas Eve. I was a present shaker, but I never peeked. The anticipation and excitement were what made it so much fun.

You know what else made it fun? 

All the work my mom did to decorate and make thing festive, but I didn’t realize that until I was all grown up and facing the task myself. 

I’ve been married for twenty-six years. A mother for almost twenty-one. You’d think I would be a pro at this by now. I know what to expect. I know what to do.
