Holiday Inspiration

As we drove into our office here in Shrewsbury this week, our staff was suddenly quite aware that the winter holidays were fast approaching. Everywhere you look, people are starting to decorate their homes, stores have started hanging wreathes, and the town is becoming more festive. Everyone is certainly getting into the spirit of season.

During our morning meeting, we began sharing favorite holiday moments and stories that stood out to each of us as well as ideas and dreams of plans for future gatherings. It certainly can be an inspirational time of year for everyone, and it brought about the idea for us to ask our readers the same. What inspirations do the preparations for the holidays bring out in you? Are you excited for friends and family, or dreading the hectic holiday shopping? Share with us a few of your favorite memories, and some of your favorite moments.

Where is your writing taking you?

As fall begins to slowly descend on our home and the vibrant green of the trees starts to turn different shades of gold, red and brown, we're reminded of our slow and steady course through time. The fall season has always been associated as a time of reflection and preparation. In a similar spirit, we as writers can take both inspiration and growth from the season.

As a writer, we can ask ourselves, where is our work taking us? Do we write to express our thoughts and feelings? To convey dreams or hopes? To develop a career? Maybe for some it's all of the above, and for others, its a purely unique and personal reason. We would love to hear about your inspirations as well as where your writing is taking you.

Our New Site

Fall has finally arrived in Shrewsbury, and we thought that it would be the best time to change some of our scenery as well. A splash of fall and earth tone colors and a new design to www.eberandwein.com has been something everyone at the office has been excited about. By now you may have had an opportunity to look over the site and find some new and interesting things.
