I'm totally out of ideas. :(

I wanted to write a Sentinel story tonight but have no bunnies running around anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions? Long, short in between, I don't care. :)

Blair catches Jim singing Christmas carols. Can you guess what I'm doing? :D

Okay, Christmas story it is. :) Thanks.

There have been a few retellings of A Christmas Carol, with Jim the 'Scrooge' character. How about one with *Blair* the Scrooge character, disliking Christmas etc. (commercialism, insincere sentimentalism, etc,possibly channelling Naomi?)

I only have three days before I leave. LOL That would take me longer than that. :) That's a good idea, though. Why don't you give it a go?

It's been in my ideas folder for ages... but basically Sheila does not do Christmas stories; remember, I grew up with Christmas an ordinary working day here, and even though it's been a holiday for two-thirds of my life I've never quite adjusted to the idea that it's anything special. (Also I was a child during the war years, when things like Christmas took a back seat to the war effort.) Quite simply, I know I couldn't do justice to the idea.

Why not hang onto the idea, and give it a go for next year?

I'll save it. Thank you. :)

Patt, sorry, but I'm running out of time to write something to go with the black-eyed Santa. Maybe you could play with that idea? I know it amused you when you sent it to me.

On another note, will there be a reverse bang this year or next, where stories are written to fit artwork rather than art being created to illustrate stories?

I don't know about the big bang, so you could ask the boss. LOL

I might just write something for that picture, but not sure yet. I have an idea for another one that I'm starting.
