okay here's a first non-logistical toot: independent bookstores make a third of their sales between Thanksgiving & the end of the year 💛

pls consider getting holiday gifts from local bookstores, most of which ship nationwide

For those worrying about reviews, or others' opinions:

“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol

Every year, I host a December Writing Challenge to encourage writers to keep their momentum going during the chaos of the holiday season. Very low key, mostly cheerleading, plus a few tips to steal a little time for your work. The general intro/rules post is up now, in anticipation of kicking off the challenge on Thursday. Please check it out if you'd like a bit of a boost through the end of the year. #DecWritingChallenge #writing #challenge #AmWriting

If you're stuck, write about your characters losing something or someone. Is their loss literal or the loss of an dream or goal?
