Writer's Christmas Carol
“A Writer’s Christmas Carol” is brought to you by patrons Jon Tollerton and Zach Payne, and the letter K!

I wanted to do A Christmas Carol and wonder if Scrooge had been a writer, but ended up talking about my own past, present and future. Stuff got real. We talked about 12 Days of Christmas parodies too.

I Should Be Writing cover art, are goals for writers different? Cartoon Mur image.A little bit of NaNoWriMo wrap-up, but then we deal with the idea of goals again, and the trouble I have with these goal programs that are everywhere. I’m wondering if goals for writers are different. And I’m taking another one now, from Udemy. Which is pronounced you-de-ME, not YOU-demy.
