[Watch now.]( Just Published: The December Barefoot Writer "Who else is a huge fan of December? I love it for two reasons: First, most holiday celebrations require us to slow down, pay attention to dear ones, eat a lot of pie, and relax. All of which is important for the successful creative mind. "But it's also a jumping off point. There's always something in the air come January that makes every writer want to dig in their heels and go bigger … try harder … and perhaps finally hit that goal they've been eyeing for so long. "Our December issue helps you prepare for the leap, with loads of content on how to close out this old year in a way that primes you for a bright, productive new year. That includes getting yourself out of maintenance mode, developing your 'writer's eye,' and being ready with a 'Plan B.' Enjoy this December issue!" — Mindy McHorse, Executive Editor, Barefoot Writer You'll find the December issue on your myAWAI Member Page. Not a member of the Barefoot Writer Club yet?
