Hey! Can you believe it’s already November? Where has 2006 gone? I am already cleaning my house, organizing for the upcoming holiday. My husband and I own several Christmas trees, and we love to decorate our house with as many decorations as possible without looking tacky. We have to start early, or we’d never finish it all before the holiday!

I know that everyone has different holiday traditions, and I would love to hear what your family does for the holiday season. In fact, this is a great time of year to write because all of the senses are in full force.

By the way, if you’re looking for any interesting challenges, Writer’s Digest is encouraging everyone to write 50,000 words of their novel by the end of the month! While this goal seems difficult, it is not impossible. I have already written several thousand words myself. Use this as a great way to get yourself motivated.

To your success,

Katie
