Secret Santa: Cheerleader Tea Party  
It is now 20 DAYS until Secret Santa gifts are due!

Perhaps you thought you were almost finished, but you didn't realise the deadline was that close. Perhaps you are near the end of your NaNoWriMo efforts and completely forgot December was the month that comes after. Perhaps you are tearing your hair out because you don't know what to write. Now is not the time to panic! Now is the time for a Cheerleader Tea Party.

Pull up a chair, tell us your woes (remembering to keep who you're writing for anonymous and avoding any specifics that would give you away as the giftee anonymous), and people of the bar will gather around to give you tea, sugary goods, shawarma, and all the support we can. Cheerleaders, why not break out your poms poms and descend upon this post with encouragement for our Secret Santa creators. Sometimes you just need a cup of tea and a good chat to make everything better :)

We also have A BETA POST to find a beta or offer to be a beta for more detailed support!



YOU CAN DO IT!!!

I could sure use a stiff Scotch or a pint of mulled wine, please. Plus some pom poms and some advice ...

Dec 16th looms and I've written a page of my Secret Santa story (at least I know where it's headed, and mostly how it will get there). But I also have half of another Bang to do by Dec 20 and need to get Chapter 5 of "Skies Over Manhattan" done before AoS tells us what really happened with Tahiti. And my mother-in-law arrives on the 12th ...

Allt his to say I'm thinking of not signing up for my Voyager Board's Secret Santa this year (the deadline there is Jan 3) although the last two exchanges produced two of my finer -- if I may say so myself -- stories in that 'verse, "Downfall" and "Grace".

I'm open to sage advice, or even just a clucking "there, there"...

Awwww. I may take you up on the more as the speed of my juggling increases ...

This sounds like we need some writin' sprints, really. I haven't even started on my Secret Santa fic (though I've researched it, as my topic is complicated and the opposite of my entire life), so I applaud you even having one page. And I sympathize about the maybe not doing the other Secret Santa, but I gotta tell you, I dropped Nanowrimo, which I've been doing on and off since 2002 and have produced some awesome things during, and it really ended up working out for me.

Of course, if you decide to do it, we'll be cheerleading you on the entire time.

Here's Jeremy, waiting in the car, for you, wherever you go:

Thank you .... still mulling (thoughts, not wine). I hate giving up stuff.

Ah Jeremy. I think I'll ask him to take me to the airport at 1:30... :-)
