Post-Christmas

I swear I'm going to go back to my normal Friday blogging schedule one day (probably when school starts back up and I'm required to keep the Friday schedule for a grade). But, as today is Sunday, that day is not today. Of course, with Christmas and gifts and family and movies, my writing has, once again, been neglected. But, due to Christmas and gifts and family and movies, I have received many resources that I will be able to use for a long, long time to benefit my writing. For that, I thank my family very much.

As it is relevant to the story of Elsie Hudson, I feel it's pertinent to remind everyone that this December 25th marks the hundred year anniversary of the Christmas truce of World War I, where soldiers from both sides of the war called out greetings and tossed tiny tokens to each other from across trenches, even meeting in 'No-Mans Land' land between them, just for one night. For that one night, they allowed Christmas to stall the fighting. Even George Washington didn't do that.

I should mention that I have written some of the next chapter, and I've written other things as well. My goal is to have two chapters finished by the end of break. Whether that will happen, we'll have to wait and see. But it is a goal and goals are not met with hope, they're met with work. So it's off to work I go!

Thanks, as always, for reading--all two of you.
