2020, stick a fork in it! - All of my ebooks are 99 cents!!

I want to say Happy New Year.

I want to say things will be better in 2021.

I want to say that there is hope at the end of the Covid tunnel.

Until everyone in this country understands that we all need to help each other, that we're all vulnerable, that we all want to get our lives back, nothing is going to change.

Please. Be safe. Take care of yourself, your family, your friends, and your neighbors.

#IWSG - December 2020 - Twitter pitch / Book Club / and some funnies!


 Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

December 2 optional question - Are there months or times of the year that you are more productive with your writing than other months, and why?

 

 The awesome co-hosts for the December 2 posting of the IWSG are Pat Garcia, Sylvia Ney, Liesbet @ Roaming About, Cathrina Constantine, and Natalie Aguirre! 


Lots to talk about in our final month of 2020 so let's get to it!!

IWSG BOOK CLUB ON GOODREADS:
 
Our book club is changing things up!

We will have quarterly book selections now, giving us more time to read. We will also have one fiction book selection and one writing craft book selection. Members can read both or choose between them. Finally, we won’t be offering 5 optional discussion questions anymore. Instead, we will be utilizing the polls that our members enjoy, so there will be one poll question for the fiction book and one for the non-fiction book on Discussion Day.

Our December/January/February reads are…

Ghost Light by Joseph O'Connor, a book written in second person. Since many readers haven’t read a book in second person, and many writers haven’t written in second person, we figured this is a great chance to explore something new.

Preparing to Write Settings that Feel Like Characters by J Lenni Dorner. This will be our writing craft book, with a focus on settings.

Discussion Day for both books will be February 24, 2021!

 ~~~~~~~~POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

After 15 seasons, Supernatural has ended. In my opinion, it was not an ending that reflected all the amazing work the cast and crew had accomplished for 15 years together. Part of the blame goes to COVID, which has screwed up just about everything on the planet.
 
But, I can't blame it all on a virus. Decisions were made about the characters, and the paths they took, that were just ... wrong.
 
Meanwhile, one of my favorite shows is over and I'm feeling a little bereft. I know I'll see these guys soon in other shows, but I will miss this one tremendously. Thank you to the cast and crew of Supernatural. It's been amazing.

It's been a tough year. Everything changed for everyone in the blink of an eye. Lots of sadness and disbelief. In the US, lots of failed leadership.
 
There is always hope.
 
We are too stubborn to put up with this shit for much longer. Things will get better.
 
Whatever you celebrate in December, may it be safe, happy, and warm.
