Oh, How I Miss You Blogfest!

Okay guys and dolls! Here's my posting for blogs I would miss if they ever quit blogging and those I already miss!

This blogfest is hosted  by Alex J. Cavanaugh, Andrew Leon, and Mathew Rush

I would miss Tara Maya. Her blog is filled with amazing writing tips and unique ideas and I have enjoyed the learning process the past couple of weeks. Her real life writing technique puts the pen to paper in a way I can see her tips put to the test. So I know they work!

I would also miss Ella over Ella's Edge. I've only known her a very short while, but in this short time, I have fallen love with her blog, her creativity, and the inspiration I get every time I visit. Her pictures and photos are simply beautiful, her poetry uplifting, and her words all cozy and comforting.


Who do I miss? Well, she's not really gone, but I wish she blogged more than she does. She blogs on a regular basis, I just wished she blogged more:) Who is it?

Janette Dolores. Her posts are always filled with lots of encouraging words and helpful tips. They aren't always related to the writing world, but life in general. I love to visit and read what she has to say about everything!

What about you? Who would you miss if they ever quit blogging? Who do you already miss and wish they blogged more often?

Here's the other who are participating. Pay them a visit if you have the chance!

    Hey Talynn,

    (I think it's Talynn...I've always called you Ink!)

    Just wanted to pop by for a visit. Busy with NaNo and I haven't been able to make my rounds like I'd like. Gotta do it when I can.

    Hope all is well. It looks it! And so Christmasy in here.

    Thank you so much for your kind words about my blog. :-) You humble me and warm my heart!

    I kick around the idea of blogging more often, but have decided to date that it isn't a good fit yet. As of right now, I love my blog. I suspect that if I blogged more often at this point in my life, I'd grow to dread it, and I don't want that. But fear not--my eye is on the ball and I will be expanding my writing exponentially in the future when I'm ready to take the leap. And then I'll get emails telling me to pleeeease shut uuuuuup already. ;-)

    Love the festive blog background. Always a treat to visit your space. I'll check out your other blog recommendations now...

    Great choices! I've heard of Ella before, but not Jannette.

    I'd also miss you if you stopped blogging! I know I don't stop here that often but your blog has made a major significance to this online writing community! :)

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...
