Finding this place has been one of the things I'm especially grateful for this year...(with an extra-special shout out to Domey's class last summer...which I find is having long lasting effects on the way I approach every description I write...)<br /><br />To answer your question, Michelle, <a href="http://februarywriter.blogspot.com/p/fireworks-flowers.html" rel="nofollow">a link.</a> In this, the hero is dreading the impending holidays, because his heart is breaking.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy.<br /><br />~bruFebruary Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078037856070486022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-62369196502688812822010-11-27T09:43:29.761-08:002010-11-27T09:43:29.761-08:00And ditto what Genie said!And ditto what Genie said!Tara Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095632631554776002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-60198994405642892782010-11-27T09:41:51.703-08:002010-11-27T09:41:51.703-08:00I love writing about the imagined holidays of the ...I love writing about the imagined holidays of the worlds I create. I have a festival in my gladiator/pirate story where fun is had by all until someone tries to assassinate the dragon princess. In a later scene, when the hero is visiting the mainland, he is an observer at a festival he's not familiar with, to emphasize how alien and homesick he feels.<br /><br />One of the first science fiction stories I ever wrote (I think I was in Jr High or High School) was about astronauts trying to celebrate Hanukah on a Shuttle-like spaceship, where burning candles was problematic, especially after they started running out of oxygen. I had a lot of fun creating a scientific explanation for the miracle of the eight days of burning light.Tara Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095632631554776002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-83669035790978933372010-11-26T13:15:05.070-08:002010-11-26T13:15:05.070-08:00I have a Christmas scene in my WIP.

It's fun to tweak an existing holiday for a fantasy culture.<br /><br />And I'd also like to point out that real-life holidays are fabulous times to observe humans behaving their most ridiculously--when they're stressed out and crammed together with lots of family members. I just posted about how I'm making an effort to digest great pieces of conversation with my turkey and pie this year. :) Luckily, my extended family doesn't know about my blog.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone...501, like the jeans!<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I'm grateful for having people stop by who love writing as much as I do. I'm grateful for Michelle and Scott. I'm grateful to have the time to write. <br /><br />I've always wanted to make up holidays for my books. I have a lot of those ideas in my head, and if ever they fit into a story, I'll definitely put them in!Davin Malasarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385823575081492949noreply@blogger.com
