writercize: Merry Christmas!

12.25.2011

Merry Christmas!

I would like to share the exterior and partial wording of my family's holiday card this year with my blogosphere friends: 

We wish you Happy Holidays!

Featuring

"Snowflake" S---- and "Ornamental" O----

The scene is set.

Tree dripping with ornaments - 

glass, porcelain and handmade

Merry carols on the iPod

Fire crackling on the TV

With twinkling lights

and expectant eyes

Two little girls, full of wonder

wait for Christmas miracles

Yes, it's a wonderful life!

With peace and love from our home to yours.

(words (c) Alana Garrigues, card personally designed by Garrigues Graphics - a freelance graphic design service run by my sister, Keela)

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season,

whatever winter holiday it may be that you celebrate in your home!

Thank you for your readership and support.

Oh Alana, your babies are so beautiful - and not looking like babies anymore! Best wishes to you and your wonderful family as you ring in 2012 together :-)

I love reading your feedback and your writercize results! Please feel free to leave your website address at the end of your comment. I will delete spam, but welcome writers and bloggers to share their sites with the writercize community.

Writercize in a Nutshell

Writercize (portmanteau of writing + exercise) is an interactive writing site designed to help you train your writing muscles run by freelance journalist and creative nonfiction writer Alana Garrigues.

I try out the writercize alongside you, so what you see is unedited. I may love it, I may not, but I'll post what comes to me.

The site will also be peppered with a few opinions here and there as well as insight on the growing pains and highlights associated with a burgeoning writing career. Please bear with me. It's my blog, so I get to indulge my ego every once in a while. Right?

These days I don't write here often, but there are more than 250 writing exercises in the archives that I encourage you to check out.

I invite you to try out the exercises and leave your result as a comment. There's nothing better than seeing how different writers approach the same exercise with varying styles.

If you expect your writercize may be on the longer side, I recommend writing your comment on paper or as a .doc before posting since long comments may not post properly in one comment field (or at least copy and paste before you click "submit"). Alternatively, some writercizers like to post on their own site as a blog entry and link back to the challenge. Whatever works for you works for me!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you join me in writercizing often!

All written content copyright Alana Garrigues, unless otherwise noted. Bloggers and teachers are welcome to use exercises and prompts, but please reference writercize and provide a link-back. Thank you!
