Blog Hop: HANGERS!!

For today's endings, I have the first five last lines of each chapter. Sad to say, with my computer still MIA I haven't been able to do any writing. I miss MY MacBook! I did get a  new, gorgeous baby that started out as a loan while mine was being repaired. But we have decided to keep it. It is super nice, but ALL my *stuff* is on my old computer and I miss my *stuff*. IF that even makes sense...

Are you ready for my hangers? I hope you like them:)

**********
Chapter 1: For all it's worth I am so in trouble.

Chapter 2: Not only is it pouring down rain, it is pitch dark and  I have no idea where I am.

Chapter 3: Before I had a chance to explain, total mayhem flew through the door.

Chapter 4: Sure he's smart and funny and absolutely gorgeous but that doesn't matter because he can never be mine.

Chapter 5: Vanity waltzed into the room decked out like she was going to the ball.

**********
That's it for now. All I need now is your comments! Thanks so much for taking the time to read my hookers and hangers this week!

      Thanks, Emily. Yeah, my computer is missed. But when I finally get it back, it will be better because it will be fixed. My optical drive needed work...

    I also am sorry about the missing computer! I'd be so lost without mine (though thankfully my phone has blog and twitter apps!)

    I loved your hookers! Especially 1, 2, and 4! Awesome job.

      In all reality, #4 is my favorite too. It is bittersweet in the end.

    I really love the voice in these, especially #4.

    My MacBookPro died on me a few months ago... so I feel your pain :( Luckily I have the desktop, but all my *stuff* is on a backup hard drive in a drawer until I get a new laptop of my own... was HOPING the new 13" would have the awesome new screens... but alas, only the 15" were released :(

      It;s problem? The optical drive needs replacing thanks to falling off the desk. *closes eyes and shakes head, red cheeks flaming*

    I really liked the last one. Especially if Vanity is not the person's real name... then I REALLY liked it. I am assuming it isn't... who names their kid Vanity? Anyway, it's just snarky enough to make me want to turn the page because you know SOMETHING is going to happen.

      Vanity is a nickname and I'm sure you can guess why the gang calls her that! I'm glad you liked it!

    Very fun ending lines, especially with mayhem flying in and Vanity waltzing in. That's how to make the reader turn the page.

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...
