<p>Happy holidays to all who engage in joy and frivolity at this time of year which, considering the number of celebrations there are, means everyone.</p><p>We're back from West Sacramento after Thanksgiving with the relations, something we're always happy to do. Added bonus: the trip gave us the topic of this week's podcast: getting outside of our comfort zones.</p><p>Writers are very much creatures of habits, so sometimes our complacency needs a kick in the pants. For us, that meant two nights in the Embassy Suites where they wait on you hand and foot. We're so used to taking care of ourselves at hotels, so to have someone park our car and carry our luggage was surreal.</p><p>But busting out of comfort zones gives writers material for their books and maybe, just maybe, fresh energy for their manuscript.
