We leave one tree up to display the ornaments we sell.<br /><br />I loved the idea you spoke of about writing the query from the MC POV, then changing it to third person. Who better to tell what the book is about than the MC?

I've always wanted to leave the up year round just to feel like I am in my own wonderland. No after the holiday shopping for me. I wasn't motivated to brave the crowds this year. On my mind is a book proposal and query letter. Something new to learn about. Happy New Year, Kelly.
