Writing during the holidays can be on of the toughest things. Everything tends to go crazy with schedules around the holidays: food, travel, shopping, family, and more all pile in to fill up every spare second of life. Trying to make the time to write during the season can drive you out of your mind. In fact, one of the things I both love and hate about NaNoWriMo is that it happens in November right on top of Thanksgiving in America.
