Favorite Genre's Bloghop

Oh. Let's see. My favorite genres you ask? That's easy to list!

This will be a short, fun post:)

Fiction:

 Christian Historical Fiction. Take me to another time and place and fill my mind with the romance of another era, and I may never come back.


Movie :

 Drama. I love to cry during a movie. and if I am sitting on the edge of my seat during the entire movie, then it gets brownie point:)

Music:

 Classical is my favorite. But no one in my house would listen to it, except during study times. So I guess I'll go with Christian Contemporary.

Guilty Pleasure?

Fantasy, Sci-fi Fiction and movie

50' and 60's sock hop music!
No wait. It's opera. No one in my family likes opera. But I do. Especially after a very stressful day.

    I love a good cry during a movie too. My last time I cried I watched The Help, and then there was War Horse. I can't watch any movie about a horse without bawling.

    Thanks for sharing! Love the new look of your blog!

    Hi,

    Dropping over for the blogfest. I must say I think your blog is THE most happy one I have ever seen. It speaks volumes about you ... quirky, fun, and especially welcoming and friendly.

    Glad I dropped by and followed.

    CLassical music is so inspiring. Too bad the family doesn't enjoy it as much as you do...

    I love classical music. One of my biggest personal frustrations is that I've never made a bigger effort to educate myself about it. That doesn't stop me from listening to classical radio stations, but I'd love to take a college course on the different periods/eras/composers.

    Lovely choices! And I love how Christian Contemporary has become so much more mainstream now too. Such great music.

    Although rock is my favorite genre of music, I also enjoy classical. Some of my faves are Rossini, Schubert, Mozart ("Barber of Seville") and of course, Beethoven.

    I once read a study (Harvard newsletter?) where it was proven that classical music significantly improved study habits and increased comprehension.

    As for crying in a movie, nah, not down with that. lol

    Classical isn't my favorite but there are times when it is just what I need. And I'll only watch a movie that makes me cry once.

    I do enjoy classical music. Now if only I could tell my Mozarts from my Schuberts. :)

    I like classical music to listen to, but if you ask me WHO I'm listening to, I'd probably have no idea!

    Hi. Thanks for sharing. I write horror with a Christian spin to it, so I thought I would say hello. I listen to rock and 80's hair metal, but lean on classical music when writing and in need of drowning out the noise of the teenagers in the house. *laughs*
    Very good to meet you.

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...
