Fair Grounds Now Open

It has finally arrived! The CQ Carnival is open for fun! The first thing you need at the carnival is tickets!

Step right up!
Come one!
Come all!

Stop by the ticket booth and get your tickets. Now, tickets aren't free. Nope! What do they cost? Every follower sign-up to Ink in the Book is worth 5 tickets.
Every follower sign-up to Blogs signed up the Buccanner Blogfest is worth 2 tickets. (of course, you will have to let me know you followed another blog by commenting, so this will be worth 3 tickets!)
Every comment on Ink in the Book is worth 1 ticket.

Now, I will be keeping track of all the follower sign-ups and comments for the ENTIRE month of the Carnival and every ticket "purchased" by you will go into a random drawing at the end of the Carnival for some fabulous prizes! FREE BOOKS. Woot! Woot! So, the more you comment, the more tickets you get, the more chances of winning. Oh yeah, oh yeah:)

A new booth will open up on a regular basis, so you will want to visit every day.


The Ticket Booth is being hosted by a character from one of MY manuscripts.

Her name is Sailor. She love ice cream waffle cones, bubble gum snow cones and her favorite ride is the Ferris Wheel. She loves playing all the games and she usually wins on the first round. She is a fashion designer for, oops! I can't tell you that! But you might get a clue if you look at her face paint. Yes, she's already been to the Face Painting booth, but it isn't open to the public yet. There will be clues all month about my characters, settings and thems from my manuscript.

If you want to host a booth, let me know and we'll get your characters on the road to the big top!

    Ooh I like Sailor already. (: She sounds like fun! I'm kind of confused with the carnival, so maybe I missed an earlier post before "Curiosity Quills Carnival - Starting Next Week". I'll look around (:

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...
