Hi all, and greetings from Illinois!
I log on to MMC each year, and decided to pop in and say hello this time. It's been unseasonably cold here the last two weeks--a bit of Christmas Season come early, that.
For all of you writers out there, November is national novel writing month. Like MMC, I've always watched it from afar, but never participated. This year I've decided to take the plunge.
Since the objective is to knock out most of a novel in one month, and I wanted to get an early start on steeping myself in the Christmas season, I've opted to write a mystery set around the holiday.
I plan to incorporate Christmas themes and holiday tropes into the plot. Contemporary story, but something that "feels" old. If you're interested, I'll keep you posted.
Hope this finds everyone well.
Best Wishes,
jimmyolsen
