Dear Santa,

I’ve been a good girl this year. I finished my novel, plotted my next book, wrote half a dozen articles, volunteered for my RWA chapter, and helped my fellow writers.

For Christmas this year, I’d really, really like:

• a publishing contract
• an agent
• a copy of Microsoft Office

Sincerely,

Ally

PS. I hope you like the cookies.

PSS. Tell Rudolph I hope he enjoys the carrot.
