FREE RANGE writing
Today is National Stay in Bed and Read a Book Day. Not really – I made it up. In this column we write around the seasons and festivals that mark the passing year, and also sometimes the official national and international celebration days, because they provide such a wonderful variety of different themes to explore in writing.
There are lots of great celebration days during the wintry season but, for some personalised cheer at this dark time of year, I’m going to suggest you nominate your own personal unofficial day. When you’ve made it up and written all about it, see if you can treat yourself to the day you want at least once before next month’s edition.
