The Plot Whisperer
80 percent of Americans feel they have a book in them. (Joseph Epstein, New York Times, 2002). But how do you summon your muse when plot bewilders you, writer’s block cripples you, and procrastination taunts you? Enter Martha Alderson, Founder of PlotWrMo, a.k.a. The Plot Whisperer. At the core of Alderson’s approach is the concept of “the Universal Story,” the idea that there is an evolving and dynamic exchange between your real life experiences, self-awareness, and your ability to tell a compelling story. So seize the power of your own Universal Story, let the words flow, and live in the power of now.

The Elf Off the Shelf
Each holiday season elves “magically” appear
To the joy of young children both far and near
They sit and watch and tell who’s Naughty and who’s Nice
So St. Nick can write up his list based on their advice
Except this year Mom bought a discount elf
Who’s ill-tempered in the head and tends to crawl off the shelf
He hates his job and knows how to get down,
So you better watch out – Horace is coming to town!
Get ready – somebody’s coming to town, and it ain’t Santa! It’s Horace the Bad Elf, and he’s a disgruntled little helper with a gift for making some SERIOUS yuletide mischief.
This Christmas, The Elf Off the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition Gone Bad shows what happens when one elf gets OFF that shelf – and into big-time trouble!
From getting into the eggnog, to trying to bed Barbie, to switching your kid’s Christmas wish from the toy train to that gory zombie video game he would want, Horace’s AWOL antics could ruin the holidays for everyone!
