    I think Katherine is a spit ball of fire. Very energetic and full of fun withe a bit of an independent spirit;)

    Katherine had a fire fighter Father and his fire truck was No. 4. She named her cat after that:)

    Linn is a psychic love because she once had a fortune teller predict her good luck as a successful author and it came true. So now, she writes about it.

    1. Please describe your idea of Katherine. (Remember she is a Gemini and the heroine of the story. Go here, and here for help)

    -She's got two sides to her and therefore can have trouble making decisions. But she's also adaptable and creative.

    2. Where did the name Cat No. 4 come from? (This is the beloved cat of Katherine)

    Cat number 4 is named as such because it's living it's forth life.

    3. Who or what event inspired Linn’s theme of psychic love?

    The story of how Linn met her husband.

    I think Katherine might be someone who likes to tell you all the details and leave you wanting more. But I think it is just because she is so full of energy it just bubbles out of her and she may not even realize she is talking so much.

    As for Cat no. 4, she got her name because Katherine tried for so long to keep a cat around that when this cat showed up on her door step, Katherine took it as a sign it was meant for her to take care of the poor orphan.

    Linn is a psychic because her husband always wanted to know the future and so she took classes to learn how to do be a fortune teller. (Fortune Telling 101)

    Oh I sooooo wish I'd thought of attending Fortune Telling 101 classes, love it! Katherine is crazy actually, she can't help herself and that's why she needs help ... she really does need to read those forecasts and listen to what they are telling her. As for No. 4, well he's a little star, who could resist him? Enjoyed your thoughts, thank you!

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...

Writer In Motion CP feedback

Hey beautiful guys and dolls! Here it is! My CP feedback edited story. Had a hard time with this, but I hope it makes sense. I've got a post I'm working on I plan to put up after Thanksgiving. Here ya go. Enjoy... Every morning I wake to carnival day.  Today, though, I have my key. If I don’t use it before midnight, my way of escape will gone. It’s a silver key with a twisted metal handle, a sapphire stone half moon and engraved stars. There’s a tiny inscription on the moon, but it’s so small, I’ve never been able to read it.I’ve always kept mine in my jewelry box, but today, I string it on a ribbon and tie it around my neck. My two best friends will be wearing theirs, too, and I wonder how they will escape this carnival of dreams. “What’s it for?” Cress asks as we stand in line for the swings. I run my fingertips over the entire silver surface. “I don’t know. It belonged to my grandmother,” I say. “Whatever.” She shrugs her shoulder in a dismissive way. “Have ...

Workshop 10

Today, let's get readers hooked from the very first sentence. If you do, you are off to a great start and hopefully a great first chapter. We are going to focus on the first and second sentence and how you can draw readers in while introducing two major items about your book: 1. Your MC 2. The main conflict. How? Is it really possible to do this in only TWO sentences? YES! Example: My name is Snow, like the white powder that falls during winter, though I don't know what my mom was thinking because it was ninety degrees the day I was born. I turned twelve the year I married a man I hated and thirteen when my first baby was born. This sentence tells us a lot. It shows us a little about Snow's personality, it hints toward a shortened childhood and could possibly point to a different time era. I also can definitely see the conflict. Can you? You only have a few minutes to make a good, first impression. Make sure you wow your reader enough they'll actually t...
