I'm Thankful For My Readers BlogHop

This month Vikki and Tara have put on a fabulous blog hop about being thankful.

Appreciation goes on long way and makes others feel so good! I started out a few weeks ago, sending out thank you awards to all my followers and I never finished. *ducks head in shame*

I AM thankful to ALL my followers and those who visit regularly even without a follow. If no one read my blog, there would be no need for my blog, right?

On a more individual basis, there are several people I'd like to thank:

Vikki, for listening to my ideas and reading my WIP for critique.

Yolanda Renee, for letting me be her buddy on NaNo even though I didn't know how to find the buddy button.

Alex, for always visiting my blog and offering a kind word of encouragement.

Courtney, for helping me so much with my query letter, that I'm still working on...

Julie for always smiling my way and offer a good shoulder to lean on.

Suzanne for her never ending "you can do it" cheers and cyber friendship:)

Rachel, because she always says kind words to me and about me.

And for EVERY visitor that comes by Ink in the Book, and EVERY follower who visits and leaves a comment. Really, if it weren't for you, there would be no need for my blog.

      Well I'm honored-- thanks for stopping by my blog and redirecting me this way! And thank YOU for your support.

      You know what's funny? I get your blog in my feed and, of course, have it listed in my blog roll, so I never realized I wasn't officially on the follower list over there ------>

      I am now.

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

EVER Blog Hop!!!!!

I joined a blog hop flash writing contest with/for Jessa Russo. It's in honor of her first EVER book release. I met Jessa during the Curiosity Quills Blog hop. I have never read a ghost story, but after reading Jessa's query and first few pages and then learning more about her ghost Frankie, I was so inspired, I fell in love -with Frankie. I was so inspired, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and write a story I had never written before and never thought I would write. Or even want to write. But I did, and I did. My piece for the contest is a small part of my bigger manuscript I wrote. I had to modify and change a few things so the story would make sense, but I think it works. At least, I hope it does:) How to vote: Comment at the end of the end of this post. You must have the word "VOTE" in your comment for it to be considered valid. VOTING IS OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30TH!!!! Ready? Well, lets go! --> The Man With the Black Hood knocked
