Here’s a question for you:
Have you ever written a holiday scene in a book or short story? What was its purpose? Happy Easter everyone!
aww happy easter!!
ReplyDeleteyou know, that you mention it, i realize i've never written a holiday scene before.
huh.
i wonder why?
makes me want to write one.
have a fab weekend!!
In my WIP I have two scenes of Christmas which illustrate a man's disattachment from his mother and the sadness he feels about his life and a second scene which reveals the consequences of his lifestyle. There is nothing merry about either scene.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Easter from Greetings from Blogging From A to Z April Challenge
Kalo Pascha apo Kyprios!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your family.
Actually, no, I haven't. I asked my editor if she wanted a holiday book and she nicely skirted the question. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Helen!

Happy Easter Helen. Hope you and your family have a wonderful time. Looking forward to hearing how the Vanilla Mousse Cheesecake turns out and if you'll share the recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Helen.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! Hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever written a holiday scene before in a book. Not quite sure why - it's just never come up!
I asked that question because I've never written a holiday. There would have to be a reason, like Arlee's. Every scene needs purpose. Holidays like Christmas or Easter or Fourth of July are ripe for stuff to happen, though.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy a wonderful Easter with your family, Helen :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Helen! Your son has good taste- that Breakaway Bread looks delicious! I will have to try my hand at that after Easter dinner!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!
Happy Easter! It's just the two of us, so we're going out with friends for our Easter dinner.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought about writing a holiday - interesting question. Of course, when you mentioned the 4th of July I thought about aliens landing. :P
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you Helen..
ReplyDeletethat Bread sounds like a wonderful thing to try out.
I LOVE deviled eggs....mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteFirst time here, but not my last.
Happy Easter,
Lola
Suzanne, my son likes the Breakaway Bread so much, he makes it himself when he goes to pot lucks at friends' house. (He made it and took it last night. And he'll happily eat it again today.)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! I've made lemon chicken, potato salad, and jalapeno bread for friends!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious, Diane. I'm trying to think if I've ever had lemon chicken. I don't believe I have!
ReplyDeleteYum. Now I'm hungry. I've written holiday scenes into my essays many times. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteEaster Sunday was great; our 6th and last day of skiing in kids' spring break (and probably our 100th day on skis this winter). Blue sky and white snow, can't be better than that >:)
