It’s December 25 and I’m sitting up at 6:46AM waiting for at least 7 so I can sneak over to my parent’s house and rip into the gifts.
For today’s assignment, I want you to write about your most vivid holiday memory. You can go on for as long as you want, but make sure to have each word be poignant and powerful. Don’t ramble on about the smell of your late aunt Mildred or the twinkling lights or the waves in the punch bowl—UNLESS that carries the story/description forward.
Put your description in the comments below…I’ll have mine up before the reindeer get out of sight or the last Hanukkah candle burns away.
Keep writing.

There is only about a week left before Christmas and I’ve decided to throw caution and laziness to the wind with a new assignment. You’ve had two weeks off from my heavy-handed dealings and now it’s time to get back into the writing mode. Realize that you should be done with baking and shopping, and you should be ready to take some fun time for yourself.
For assignment 14 I want you to look at a photograph in your house or in the various houses in which you’ll be carousing this holiday. Then write a paragraph about the photo. You can incorporate it into a larger story. You can just describe the piece. Or you can write a poem.
My gift to you this holiday season is an easy assignment. How’s that?
As always, put your response in the comments. Mine will be there shortly…I already know which photo I want to use.
Keep writing…

It seems that many people are preoccupied with shopping, merriment and living their lives this holiday season. I’m going to continue to post assignments through the month of December, but they’ll be a little less structured than in the past.
If you’ve got an assignment or thought you want to share, just leave it in the comments and I’ll either make it a full-blown post or will direct people to see it in an upcoming missive.
Keep writing!
