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.

      Yep, she's nervous, too, but not for long. She soon figures it out, though she's not happy about it. Yet.

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...

The Writers Voice Entry

How excited am I? Can't you hear me laughing and squeeing, right there where you are? Yep! I'm excited! I made it tot he first round of the Writers Voice!! So today, I've posted my entry, here int his blog post, for the coaches to come around and read and decide if I'm ready to move on to the next round. Keep your fingers crossed for me PLEASE:) The entry I'm posting as went through numerous rounds of edits and revisions to get it where it is already. I've cut, squeezed, rearranged and replaced so much, I think my brain is on fire! I've changed names, combined characters, cut characters, and I've changed titles a couple of times and agonized over my genre until I cried . I've put th e first three chapters through a couple of workshops and had feedback from a few agents, so I'm sure I 've got the results I wanted. (I can be honest, can't I?) So, here we go, you beautiful guys and dolls. Feel free to leave any comments that might ...

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Hey everyone! I'm taking a quick break from vacation to introduce myself and say hi! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and meeting some new friends! -Where do you write? I live in a camper. My writing spot? Usually in bed. But sometimes I get a chance to write in the "living room" but that's rare. When I am at home (yay!) I have my own little office:) I love m space there and I can write during the day light hours. Oh, who am I kidding! That's rare. -Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see? My husband. Yeah, he sleeps with me! -Favorite time to write? At night. When it's quite. Aaahhh. Sweet quite. -Drink of choice while writing? Depends on the time of day I get to write. In the morning, coffee, coffee and more coffee. (with Creme Brulee creamer!) Afternoon it's iced coffee. After school, it's Dr. Pepper. Night it's water. -When writin...
