Here is a list of things
that I am thankful for as a writer.
Thesauruses for finding
the perfect word,
Handkerchiefs to cry
into when my characters get in trouble,
Authentic dialogue,
Notebooks to preserve ideas,
Kind friends and relatives who don’t laugh at my
lousy first drafts,
Snoopy’s Guide to the Writing Life for those moments when I
need encouragement mixed with humor,
Gripping plots,
Imaginary friends (and
enemies) who come to life on the page,
Vivid description,
Imagery that puts the reader in the setting,
Nerve to cut out those favorite passages that
just don’t fit, and
Groups of other writers
to provide critiques, support, and networking.
Happy Thanksgiving.
