Over the course of this month I want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on some of the creators who have signed up for this year’s Giftmas Create-A-Thon. I think it’s really easy to get caught up in the numbers of, like, how many donations, and how much money is raised — and obviously that is important. But it’s also really important to celebrate the people who have signed up to participate in this fundraiser in an attempt to leave the world better than they found it.
Today’s spotlight is on BD Wilson.

What made you sign-up for the Create-A-Thon?
I’ve donated to Giftmas in the past, but never felt like I was in a position to participate more than that. This year, the goal side was something I knew I could do, so I jumped on the chance to take part.
Can you tell us a bit about your goal?
My least favourite part of writing is editing. That means I’ve got a bunch of stuff I’ve been sitting on. The two biggest being the first book in a new series, and a 3-Day Novel I want to prep to release to my Patreon. So, my goal is to tackle the “finish the thing” part of the process that I stumble over so often.
What is your favourite or least favourite thing about the month of November?
I love the leaves changing colour. I do not like raking them once they’ve fallen.
What book do you wish you could read again for the first time?
When I was a kid, I read through every book by John Bellairs I could find. I remember reading one of them and hitting a point that absolutely terrified me. Nothing I’ve watched or read since has caused that extreme a reaction, including re-reading all the John Bellairs books trying to find which one it was, since I couldn’t remember. I know it was the Johnny Dixon series, but it whichever it was wasn’t as scary the second time around, apparently.
So, my answer to this question is: whichever book that was, but I want it to come with that reaction again.
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
No. Just let them be their own thing already.
