Many writers see Christmas as an interruption, a break they didn’t ask for, or even a loss of momentum. Let’s flip this 180°
Every single year, I used to dread the Christmas holidays. The holidays would sweep in with their endless events, gift shopping, and never-ending to-do lists. My writing routine? Out the window! My creative energy? Gone. By the time January rolled around, I felt completely disconnected from my work — and unsure how to start again.
But then I learned something that changed everything: December doesn’t have to disrupt your writing. You can completely turn around your holiday experience with a mindset shift.
Because the truth is, the holidays can be an opportunity to reconnect with your creativity — not through hustle, deadlines, word counts, and discipline (these might work at other times of the year). But through intentional reflection, gentle habits, and a fresh perspective on what it means to be a writer during this busy season.
Here’s how to shift your mindset and make the most of this December, based on my experience of coaching hundreds of writers through this time of year (and learning to deal with my own anxiety around Christmas).
