Spark your creativity with these helpful holiday prompts

The holiday season can trigger numerous emotions. Some are pleasant, while others are depressing. Either way, writing can help you sort out your thoughts as Christmas and other seasonal celebrations approach.

Try and carve out some time to write this winter, even if the holiday season gets crazy. Even if you can only find 5 minutes a day to focus on your writing work, that’s better than zero. However, coming up with new ideas can be difficult if you’re exhausted from planning or attending festivities. I understand how hectic the holidays can get, so I’ve created 50 prompts to help inspire you.
