Writerly Ways

[cornerofmadness]

I was going to do something for this but right now I'm exhausted. I've been tired most of the day, the burn out catching up to me. I wanted to go outside and see the geminid shower but it's been raining all weekend. It took me all day just to do a little editing and I did get to sit down to the Ghosts of Christmas Past with Boroughs of the Dead. I had fun with it. There were things I didn't know like a certain author M.R. James wrote a new short ghost story for every Christmas, sort of in the British tradition. I wrote a story with ghosts for CHristmas last year. I think I would like to start that tradition.

I learned about Frau Perchta who I have to use somewhere.

So at least I had that for the day.

I forgot all about the geminid meteor shower, and I think it was clear here. Boo.

Ghosts for Christmas! I've never done that! I hope you have fun when you get around to it.
