I could also use some ideas on how to solve that tricky flashback problem in Chapter 7, and maybe a fresh metaphor for the river imagery.
Do you have any kind of a cliche-blocker? Something that’s battery operated. Or wireless. Is there an app for this now?
I’m not sure what brand of resistance dissolver you recommend, but I’ll take a couple of quarts. Your strongest proof, please.
Do your elves still make those cute “Sorry, not now” adhesive mouth pads? I’ll need a gross of those. (early delivery appreciated.)
On the practical side I could also use a dozen pens (Pilot Precise V7, fine point, blue), a half-dozen blank notebooks (spiral-bound, college-ruled, various colors though I seem to write best in the green ones), oh, and a pillow for my desk chair.

Your friend, Judy

P.S. Don’t forget the peanut M&Ms.

What about you? Have you made your list for Santa yet? And when he’s making his list and checking it twice, will your name on the “good” side (yes, Santa, I honor my writing practice), or the “naughty” side (you can’t lie to Santa about watching “Dancing with the Stars” or going to the mall on Black Friday instead of writing. He knows these things.)

PPS. The Lively Muse’s DAILY APPOINTMENT CALENDAR FOR WRITERS makes a fine gift for all the writers on your list, including you.
