Crazy/Cozy #4
A day early — Have a Great Thanksgiving!
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.
If you haven’t read my special holiday-themed story yet, there’s still time. 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 winder, solstice, Christmas, and/or other holidays this time of year. 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.
