1. Plot in a Box
2. To finally, FINALLY, understand the difference between lie, lay, lain.
3. A keyboard that exercises my butt along with my fingers.
4. To remember to use what I’ve learned about writing while I’m writing instead of after the book is on the shelves.
5. For one book, before I die, to turn out the way I see it in my head.
6. The Secret (no, not that one – the one that tells me all the tricks, tips and secrets of selling the next huge bestseller).
7. Books. And the time to read them.
8. Peace.
You? (Of course, you may want some things for Christmas. That’s okay, too).
No related posts.
Happy Hanukkah, Jo!!! I want much of what is on your wishlist, especially numbers three, four and five. Peace is a given.
Loved your list.
If you discover how the tush gets exercise while at the keyboard, you’d make millions by passing on the secret.
Don’ really have a list. Although I’d love enough time to read all the books in my TBR pile and enough money that I don’t have to pick and choose which books I buy next.
Oh, oh, I’d give everything else up if I could have that keyboard! I’d never ask for anything else EVER. I swear!
Loved your list, especially Number Two.:roll: Didn’t understand Number One.
Happy Hanukkah, Jo! Can I have your list, and also 26 hours in a day to make sure I get my writing AND housework done?
One, four and five.
In bulk, please.
For any holiday a’tall, I’m not picky.
Kimber An, Plot in a Box is kind of like a Dick in a Box (Justin Timberlake parody) but for me it would be someone handing me a perfect plot, ready to roll. Of course then I’d get my hands on it and change everything and make it mine, so it probably wouldn’t be as perfect as I’d wish.
As for the tush-reducing keyboard, I’m working on it. One thing I discovered for sure, it doesn’t help in any way to eat M&Ms while typing. Good to know.
When you figure out #2, please share.
Oh, and you have to tell us where we can get our own #3 because I’m sure, as soon as it is launched, it will be like the hottest toy…”Out of Stock”
Happy Hanukkah!
Try this link for #2:

…and when you find that Keyboard Exerciser Supreme, send me a link, would you?
Thanks for the happy Hanukkah wishes! I miss the old days, when I actually got a present each night. ::sigh:: Presents. How much I love them.
Nora, I think that would be enough for me, too.
Jess…Housework? What is this housework you speak of?
Happy Hanukkah! Wonderful list! I wouldn’t mind finding those in my stocking on Christmas morning! If you ever do find that keyboard or learn The Secret, please share
2. To finally, FINALLY, understand the difference between lie, lay, lain.
….If Only! May I ask for this one for Christmas?? I have exorcised all of my grammar demons except this one.
3. A keyboard that exercises my butt along with my fingers.
….Also, a chocolate that acts as a complete low-calorie, high fibre, balanced nutritional supplement.
5. For one book, before I die, to turn out the way I see it in my head.
….That would be soooo nice! Alas, I don’t think it’s possible.
7. Books. And the time to read them.
….Yes, please!
8. Peace.
….For all time.
Jo, What a delightful way to start my morning. I loved your list. Hmm I think the only thing I would add (besides world peace of course) is the ability to turn my procrastination time into words written.
I’m a simple girl. I just want all men to be hot, hunky, alpha male Highlanders like we read about in books.
What???
I can dream, can’t I?:oops:
Thanks for the laugh. Those are the things I want for Christmas!
Great list. When you find the exercise keyboard let us know. I want one.
Happy Hanukkah to you too! Oh, I can relate to #2.
