This is the Fable and the Verbivore’s all things Christmas episode, where Bethany and Laura talk about their favorite holiday narratives found in books, movies, and music. From A Christmas Carol to Die Hard, we reflect on what we enjoy about this time of year and what Yuletide themes and ideas personally resonate.

We also discuss breaking free of the myth that there are already enough people writing about the concepts and core ideas that we are interested in persuing with our own works in progress. Bethany talks about the strong themes that holiday works tend to have, and discusses finding the theme for her WIP. Laura describes how she records her random ideas that don’t yet have a story to call home in a separate writing journal, so that they are not lost to time and a short memory.

We hope you all enjoy this episode as you follow your own traditions, and have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season!
