Choose Your Own Christmas Adventure – Part 1

Choose Your Own Christmas Adventure – Part 1

“Baby it’s cold outside…” Tis the holiday season and Merry Christmas prep to all!  If you’re like me, you don’t understand those friends that already have all their Christmas shopping done.  You’re calendar is filling up, and are frantically searching for original cookie ideas for your next get-together.  (I refuse to bring just sugar cookies this time.) So, while I’m in the shower this morning, humming along to Christmas carols on Pandora, an idea came to me; wouldn’t it be…

“What do you do” – Why is that a scary question

Glasses are clinking, kids are running around, and the men are crowded around the grill.  You are holding a glass of wine, because it’s something to do with your hands and someone, you think they are the wife of a friend, comes up to you to introduce themselves.  It’s going great and then she asks the question you’ve been dreading, “What do you do?” As a writer, or as a my friend Kristen Lamb would call us, “pre-published authors,” I’ve…
