Special Christmas Shout Out to Special Wordplayers

For me, the Christmas season is always a time for reflecting on the year and expressing gratitude for my many blessings. This year, I find myself giving thanks particularly for the Wordplayers in my life.

I am often overwhelmed by the kindness, enthusiasm, and generosity of the people I get to interact with on a daily basis. I don’t like making lists, since I inevitably forget people who should emphatically not be forgotten. But I would like to give a special shout out to a handful of Wordplayers who have made my corner of the writing community a brighter place this year.

They include:

Angela Ackerman

Porter Anderson

M.M. Ballasch

Susan Brannock

Joe Bunting

Joanna Coleman

Johne Cook

London Crockett

Chuck Davis

Jennifer Ibarra

Sam Jenne

Mariam Kobras

Melanie Martilla

Steve Mathisen

Marcus José Pinto

Jeffrey Poston

Lorna Poston

Becca Puglisi

Braden Russell

Liberty Speidel

Sylvia Stewart

Nick Thacker

Rich Weatherly

Linda Yezak

My thanks to them and all of you for being awesome, each in your own ways. Merry Christmas, Wordplayers!
