Crazy/Cozy #2

My Thanksgiving themed story and more from fab writers…

Widening out the eerie atmosphere and strange happenings with cozy vibes that many find so appealing this time of year—fall colors, candle glows, tasty foods, fleecy sweaters, and so on.

My special holiday-themed story is now posted as part of Thorny Thursday, hosted by

Joseph L. Wiess

. Getting along with relatives during this time of year can be rather trying and full of surprises, both happy and sad. I’ll leave the story up through 30 November 2024 (it will be part of a book of love stories, so I can’t leave it here indefinitely).

How to Participate

Post your holiday-themed stories, poems, podcasts, comics, videos, artwork, etc., and tag me. I’ll put together a weekly post featuring them. The genre doesn’t matter—sci-fi, romance, horror, mystery, etc.—so long as there’s something relating to Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. Gotta help each other get seen, especially during a time of year when people are doing so much rushing around.

Don’t feel pressured. We have enough of that already in our lives, especially this time of year. Just enjoy the writing/creating. And I realize some of you are participating in NaNoWriMo. If you can also do something for this, great. If not, just keep us all updated on your progress.

But First…
