I know you have been dying for the next clue, right? I'm glad you asked!

Clue two: It's an event that Warren King recently experienced.

find the clue #2  here!
***********************************************
Booth Number Two just happens to be the Scavenger hunt. Do you enjoy a great game? I hope so. If not, keep waiting around because we have rides opening up very soon.

Who is hosting this booth? His name is Warren King. He stepped right of the pages of Sharon Bayliss's manuscript and he's on a journey. He's going somewhere and it's your job to find out where.

Clue #1: In the link below, you can read through the article to help you locate the clue taken from Sharon's manuscript. The word you are looking for is mentioned SIX times in the article link below. One more hint: there are ten letters in the word.

Once you have found the clue, comment below. Who will be the winner? If more than one person finds the correct clue word, there will be a drawing. What does the winner receive? Something REALLY cool and creative! I have an excerpt from Sharon's manuscript. I have created a digital poster with the excerpt along with some super cool pics and a signature from Sharon herself:) It's going to be BRAGADOCIOUS.

Are you ready to go hunting!!!!!!

Go read this article and look for the clue word!

    Well, I was never good in math. Please don't tell anyone while I go edit my post. You have Eagle Eyes, Jessa. I overlooked one and I'm sure you know which one I am talking about, right?

      It wasn't eagle eyes - it was a search and find for the word California. LOL! I totally cheated. :-)

    Sometimes, cheating is allowed. But only in certain circumstances! Hehe:) Don't ever tell my kids I said that! I will never hear the end of it, and it will surely create a monster:)

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...
