Support My Friend

Don't forget to visit my post with best selling Amazon author Mandy Baggot, and her book Taking Charge. Her book tour is this week, going on right now!

I have an amazing story to share with you now. Through the HIMMH Blog Hop I met another amazing friend. We have something just a little in common and when I read her profile, I couldn't believe it!

Crystal's mother is legally blind. Here is what I found so amazing. My best friend from childhood mother is blind. Her father and mother BOTH are blind. Her mother (my friend, Robin. Her mom is DeeDee) just celebrated her 70th birthday! How amazing, right!

Crystal has such a beautiful blog with lots of informative blog posts. She could use a (((hug))) and some encouragement. You could hop over and sign up as a follower. Why not? There are tons of great informational articles over there. You will love it!

In honor of her support, you might consider signing the petition over at the American Foundation For the Blind. It's to help get material into the schools that will support a child who is blind. Check it out, please.

Let me know if you signed up, of started following Crystal. I don't think you will regret either choice:)

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

My Writing Career Changes and Plans

With today's access to the world via Internet, I’ve come in contact with hundreds of websites. Who hasn’t, right? As a writer, looking for the perfect agent to represent my manuscript (s) it’s been a tempting temptation to put my work out there to anyone who is interested. I mean that’s what all authors want, isn’t? To have a published book by anyone who is willing to print it? That’s a huge NO. My perspective on this has changed in a drastic, career changing way. After being swindled a few times, cheated twice, used by so-called friends in the industry, and lied to more than I can count, I’m pulling back the pens and doing a huge inventory check. My most recent girl agent crush has recently tweeted an extensive amount of writer tips, which I took to heart. She mentioned that self publishing works for some and may be a good thing for them. But if the reason a writer chooses to self pub is because no one else will represent them or publish them, then you are cutting your se
