A Writers Thanksgiving List

I was the last one to say my topic for this week.  The others snatched all the humor, comedy, and tickle your funny bone ideas before an idea popped into my head. I chose to be the serious one.  

Someone had to get real. Who would uphold the tradition and consider the true meaning of Thanksgiving for writers anxious to take a break from their work to be enlightened, encouraged, and/or empowered with a stimulating post? 

So, here is my Thanksgiving List dedicated to you, our beloved readers and my fellow contributors (Pepper, Casey, Sherrinda, Krista, Angie, Julia, Sarah, Cindy, and Wendy)

I am thankful for.......because

Mosquitoes: Consider the invigorating exercise you get as those buggers hum by your ears, (just the thought makes me want to flail my arms), and the fresh oxygen to your circulatory system...hear those fresh ideas humming into your brain?

Traffic Jams:  Hours and hours of listening to your favorite radio station or CD.  How relaxing. 

Math Tests and Doing Taxes:  Stumbling through line by line details...great for enhancing editing skills. 

Crowded Shopping Malls: Golden opportunity to bump into a future character for your WIP...perhaps the villain.

Blizzards: Even when the power goes out, families and friends come together.

Writing Partners/Crit Groups/Blog Contributors: Who else would we purposefully ask to slice and dice our work and thank afterwords? 

Seriously, I am most thankful for Jesus 

and what He did for us.

Let us know what you're thankful for..

humor is very acceptable :)
