Already got the diary? We will send you your money back!

So, what are we looking for?

It may be easier to say what we are not looking for: We do not want a happy christmas story. We don´t want you to unwrap the perfect present.

Just a couple of examples to get your juices flowing... 

We want your character to be horrified, not only that they have to go to Aunt so-and-so´s for dinner, but Mr or Mrs X will be there and that can only lead to disaster. Why?

We want your character to be the one who announces, in the middle of the christmas party, the darkest secrets of the person standing next to him/her... and what happens because of it?

Do you get our drift? Whatever can go wrong at Christmas, we want you to write it! 

Think about it and have some fun!
