I agree, Linda. I love that line. I can almost see the words stretching us, luring us along…

Stephen, great to hear from you again. Yes, so glad you mentioned families. That is definitely the payoff for all the craziness of the holidays. And spending time with your family is a lovely way to catch days.

Darrelyn, or maybe eight? Would that be enough to catch the days and not fall behind on the season?

I love this line: “we write toward what we will become…” that’s an exciting thought for the start of the new year.

I can certainly relate. After the mad dash of November (NaNoWriMo), December feels like a big let-down. With all the demands of Chrismas, the pace of writing has dropped off, with some days seeing only a few words, other days nothing at all. But at a time like this, when the season brings distant families back together, if only for a day or two, the sacrifice is worth it. Besides, there is a bright side to this. The guilt from not writing in December inspires us to raise lofty writing goals for the new year.

Merry Christmas.

Great post. I can completely relate, as can others, I’m sure. Just today, I was thinking about how even Twitter has been slow!

I certainly need “both hands to catch the days” but have found myself thinking that to have four hands would be nice during the holidays.
