Exercise #9 - A Game of Tag

by JM

When dealing with writer’s block, I think all of us have heard at least once “write what you know.” Well, for this exercise (and given it’s nearly Christmas, and you’re probably quite busy) I’ve decided to take up The Aspiring Romance Writer on her game of holiday tag. In turn, I take all of you. It involves writing about yourself, which can be the easiest subject to write about. ;)

Happy holidays!

Favorite seasonal movie?

Song you most enjoy this time of year?

“Holiday Greeting”?

Decorate, inside? outside?

Do you make a list?

How up to the last minute do you shop?

When do you open your gifts?

Holiday food you most savor?

Favorite holiday book?

New Year Resolutions?
