You've Been Inked Award

I visited a blog today during the "How you met your husband bloghop" and after I commented on her entry, I looked around and read few other posts she had written. The name of the blog is The Enchanted Writer.

Well, I realized how cool and utterly informative the blog was and decided to follow. Wouldn't you know it! I was her 200th follower. Woot! Woot! I know how completely EXCITED I would be if I had 200 followers. I've got a looooong way to go, but hey! I can cheer for other, can't I? Sure I can!

So, I'm having a party in celebration and honor of the the owner of the Enchanted Writer, Andrea Teagan.

The 2nd reason I am so excited about this is because one of my favorite characters in the very first manuscript I wrote (that has started on the journey to find a publisher) is named TEAGAN.

How amazing, right? You gotta love it as much as me. If (*when*) this story ever gets published, I hope I can remember to send you a copy, Andrea!

Won't you join the party with me! Lets' have some cake and ice cream!


                                                                               

Oh, and Andrea, I am giving you an award! This is an award I created and I give it out to whomever I please for whatever reason I want. I'm giving it to you because, well,  being a new follower, your amazing blog, AND in honor of my character, Teagan. So Andrea, you've been inked!

    I had a feeling that the 200th person would be special, and would be someone I'd like to get to know. I am so glad it is you :)

    Thank you so much for honoring me with a celebration! I will be posting this up on my blog as well. I look forward to reading your story, that is so cool that they are named Teagan.

    *hugs*
    Andrea

      Thank you Andrea, for hopping over and saying hi:) Here's to the 200th follower friendship. Hey! We can start our own something special. Some kind of promotion/celebration something or another. I don't know. Let's think on it and come up with something spectacular, okay?

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...
