I asked Helen for permission to repost this comment to inspire others:

"I started reading the blog and found the author's interviews very
inspiring, so I opened up my Christmas story and was able to really
make some progress on it based on what I was reading. I kept it up on
the screen to go back and read some more when I got distracted (I do
all of this while in my store, and sometimes I actually have a customer
come in and distract me)."

Here's a link to the blog:
