The Nutcracker: Merry Christmas from JGT!!

Ello, everyone! Genie here to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

This year, Jocey and I decided to use "The Nutcracker" as our theme for the annual JGT Christmas pic. We had a ton of fun learning about (and reading) the actual story and ultimately casting the characters.

So, from us to you, here is JGT in The Nutcracker!

The cast is:

Jocelyn as Drosselmeier
Taylor as Maria
Rudy Jr. as Fred
Harrison Morrison as the Nutcracker
Jag as the Mouse King
Genie as the Sugar Plum Fairy

Thanks again, Jocey, for helping me plan out the pic, and thank you all for all that you are :) Hope you have a wonderful holiday season, filled with magical moments and sweet memories.

Until then,

Genie and JGT

I'm not gone...

Ello, everyone! Genie here...

Well, the holiday season is coming and going, and I have not been able to finish the next page yet. That is mainly because of my work and my grad school applications. Fun stuff...

In actuality, I am truly loving my job and the grad school application process, not because of the stress, but because of the realizations that I have been making.

As I write my personal statements about my creative processes, I always mention JGT. Because, well, JGT trained me a lot when it comes to the craft of storytelling. I've grown a lot through JGT.

And though I have had to take longish breaks from it due to time constraints, I am grateful that it exists and that it is still on this wonderful website, waiting for me. And I am extra grateful for all of you who wait for me, too.

So, thank you so much for that.

The story will continue, most likely in January. There will be special holiday posts coming up soon courtesy of Jocey and me. And there will also be a special surprise post regarding Jocey later on, too!

I am very excited to share more of JGT's story with you guys. So, so excited.

Until then, please hang in there, for that is what I will be doing, too.

Genie
