Short Window for Holiday Themed Stories

Two years ago, I started writing a short story collection that was Christmas themed, but I never finished it. I guess I have to be in a very specific mood to write holiday stuff. Usually, I can get one story written between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it's really difficult to get into the spirit outside of that time. Hopefully, I can get this collection out in the next couple of years. I would love to see where it takes me.

Writing always seems difficult, but definitely worth pursuing when you have a talent.

I've been writing my whole life. I can't see my days without it.

Being I am a horror writer by night, this actually makes me want to write a Christmas horror story. I might get on that.

@terrid I do recall a few that I read some years back. Yes, I agree.

Maybe, you can just write as the spirit moves you

I'm going to see what I can get done this weekend. Hopefully, I'll have the next story finished.
