Readers Make Our Job The Best

Posted by Mary Welling-Bonney Dec 22, 2008

Back in August I published an article about making a gingerbread house advent calendar. One of my very industrious reader's family took it to heart and they were gracious enough to share the photos and journaling of their entire project.

You can see for your self at their website where they have posted the entire project.

Few people realize that as writers our job is to come up with new original ideas on a regular basis but realistically we have lives with demands and responsibilities. We often don't get the opportunity to actually do all of the projects we conceptualize. There wouldn't be enough hours in the day. Think about a simple cross stitch or afghan. They don't come together in an hour or two. Now imagine making a new one every couple of days. I still have many a cross stitch and afghan in a closet unfinished.

I love to do crafts and do as many as time allows. So many times I get an idea that I can see in my head but cannot find the time to do. So I write. It is so wonderful when readers make my vision a reality. That is the absolute best part of the job.

Thank you Chico and Jo! Merry Christmas to all readers of Suite101.com
