For the writer in all of us

We’re on Holiday

In Announcements on December 15, 2009 at 5:56 pm

Hi everyone, we’re currently closed for the holiday festivities until first week of January 2010. All inquiries about our classes and upcoming schedules will be entertained in early January 2010.

By the way, we’ll only be offering one class in January (a poetry appreciation seminar). Come back on the first week of January 2010 for more details.

Meantime, enjoy the season. Happy Holidays!

Hot chocolate, coffee for writers

It’s that time of the year when many of us scramble to fill out the whole strip of card from Starbucks and exchange it for the annual planner. That’s a lot of hot and cold drinks to nurse and gulp!

As Christmas approaches, there’s nothing like a good old cup of hot chocolate to comfort a writer’s chilly bones. Our favorite here at Designed by Words are chai latte (extra hot please!) and tsokolate eh so thick you can slice it with a knife.

What’s your favorite drink this holiday season?

What’s the best gift a writer could have this Christmas?

A Parker pen? The latest edition of Strunk and White’s Elements of Style? A brand new Mac? A whole set of Harry Potter novels?

Share with us what’s on your writer’s wish list.
