The holidays are great for someone who enjoys cooking and baking! It can be hard to relax and not focus on trying to make everything perfect though. M and I were talking about that tonight.

Really true - it can be hard to avoid them in the season! I've written several holiday novellas and I do enjoy reading them, especially set in the era I write in. And for writing, I love picturing my characters over the holidays.

That's a lovely tradition! My parents and I used to go to a movie on Xmas Eve and go out to dinner. M and I go out to dinner and watch "She Loves Me" (a musical that ends on Xmas Eve).

M: it was inspired by an armored dress from the show "Star vs The Forces of evil" worn by a character named Moon. except the armor would be more hidden as to not arouse suspicion.

That is a great present - and from what you've shared of the story I suspect she could really use it!

M: As a child, I hope to receive many books this holiday season. T: M's wishlist includes 10 books! #momswritersclub

Ditto - that's why I defaulted to movies in my answer. In theory I love the idea of curling up with a holiday story. In practice, if I can curl up it's with my laptop to write.

M: Probably another dress with hidden armor in it. You can never have enough dresses with hidden armor when you're the most magical royal on the continent. T: either a very fun frivolous shawl or reticule or a new set of picklocks. #momswritersclub

I love that - it says so much about all of them. And it's so true, there are different ways to savor the season!

M: honestly both - but don't ever try to put me in front of a holiday movie that isn't also a romance movie. T: Ditto. We've already watched The Holiday, When Harry Met Sally, and White Christmas. I like holiday stories! #momswritersclub

A baby, a toddler, and a skeleton draft of a novel is a huge accomplishment!!

M: Talia probably would be mildly excited but ultimately stressed about everything that had to get done. T: As with so much of her life, Mélanie Rannoch started playing at enjoying the holidays as part of her spy mission and now really does enjoy it. However she still gets stressed! #momswritersclub

M: I finished a revision of my book. T: I finished The Gresham Scandal and wrote (and just published) The Covent Garden Caper, while starting a new job and consulting. And I'm really proud of both stories! #momswritersclub
