It’s December and this month’s writing prompts will all be holiday related. To kick things off, it’s time for your character to attend their annual office Christmas party. What happens there? Does something go wrong or for once, does something finally go right for him or her? Happy writing and have fun.

I’ll start with my tip of the day for this the 27th day of NaNoWriMo. As you head into the last three days, keep with your usual routine and take regular breaks. Don’t try and do marathon writing.
