Road Trip Wednesday





This Week on YA Highway:
You spot Santa at the mall, climb onto his lap, and whisper that you've been a good boy or girl in his ear. What do you want Santa to bring you this year? Go wild! Have fun! After all, you earned it!

What I want, you ask? Well Santa, I haven't thought much about that. I'm reminded of the song Grown-Up Christmas List. All my wishes wouldn't be as altruistic as the ones in that song (the lyrics, if you don't know them, are HERE), but they would be just as abstract and seemingly unattainable.


 
1. More time...or, at least, the feeling every once in a while that I have everything done and can truly relax.
 
2. A match between everything I want to do with my WIP and what's coming out on the page.
 
3. Some assurance that the choices I'm making all the time as a parent will turn out for the best in the end.
 
 
Phew. It seems I'm a little heavy to sit on Santa's lap anymore...in more ways than one.
 
 
What about you? Any wishes for Santa's ear?

    I think I'll ask for your #2 request, too.

    I asked for Time too. Why oh WHY can't there be more hours in the day and less stuff to do.

    I can definitely relate to number 2 and 3! Esp. when it comes to parents. Not an easy job.

    "All" I ask for is an agent. LOL

    Maybe the elves could fashion some kind of machine that would make #2 possible...? Like a dictation app, but better?

    I love the idea of number two. I should've asked for that too!

    More time is always nice. I think I need grace to deal with my full house after having so much space to myself. No real writing going to happen for me until after the holidays now.

    Nice list Jennifer.

    Oh my gosh yes! Let me know if Santa comes through for you, and I'll add it to my list for next year. :)
