A to Z Challenge

I'm so sorry to make this announcement. I truly feel terrible about signing up for the month long challenge and not being able to participate and visit as much as I normally do. I had some unexpected health issues and both my parents have become sick and in need of care. I thought I could carry on and continue as always, but it's been more difficult than I thought it would be.

So, with a heavy heart and broken spirit, I am asking to be taking of the list for the A to Z Challenge. I hope to join again next year and enjoy the entire experience.

Thank you so much, beautiful guys and dolls, for you support and prayers and for visiting my blog. I hope to be back to regular scheduling very, very soon.

    Talynn, I'm sorry! Focus on what's happening in your life right now. That's more important.

    Thank you, Alex. It's almost more than I can handle. But I know it will all work out.

    I had to close off Saturday with a final post today. So you're not alone and while leaving is hard you have to take care of what's most important.

    Sorry that things have been so stressful for you lately. No shame in bowing out to be with your family.

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 ...
