“Yule”
Unassuming word,
in a song somewhere, carries
historic greetings.

December Write Day: NaNo is Over, but I barely Noticed
I’m sensing a pattern here, in that each month seems to pass more quickly than the last.
This post is a week late because I wanted to finish “The Grand Mythos”, so we’re already almost halfway through December. Oh well.
November was solid. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and we had a nice time with family, but I’ve also taken some interesting steps on the writing front.

Through ignorance,

Haiku Sunday – Handwriting
I just had a nice late-Christmas weekend with Future Wife’s family, and they do a White Elephant-style gift exchange most years. This year, however, we did an anonymous gift exchange. Each participant was assigned to buy an anonymous gift for someone else. The gifter then had to provide clues for the giftee to guess who gave them the gift.
I was assigned to purchase a gift for Future Wife’s cousin, who I also happen to be fairly close with. He knows I’m a writer, so the poem itself was the clue… he recognized immediately that I was the most likely person to write an actual haiku as a clue. I guess I’m not as wily as I thought. Either that, or people are actually starting to recognize me as a writer. Anyway, he loved his gift!
