Plans For The Weekend

Fabulous Friday everyone! It's going to be a great weekend!

Why?

Because I plan to spend all my extra time writing!!!

I have THREE WIP that are burning holes in my notes. I've been working on them for a couple of month and I'm finally going to take the time to develop my first chapter in WIP in this weekend.

Now, the lovely Shell Flower has sent me three different codes for a progress bar, and to my amazement, I can't figure out how to get them up on my blog. They are either too long, or they say weird things, such as, "Money goal" or whatnot.

I don't give up easily though, and so my second goal this weekend will be to get that crazy WIP bar up in my sidebar!

Next week will be super busy.

1.) I am hoping to make it into the GUTGAA Small Pitch Round One. If so, I'll be running around critiquing pitches and making revisions to mine.

2.) If not, I'm still a host blog for the blessed ones who make it through the onslaught on emails Deana about to get in roughly one hour, and then again this afternoon!:):):):)

3.) I am guest host for Get Your Pitch On Pitch Workshop. So this will be fun and educational:):):)

What about you? What are your plans for the weekend?
For next week?
Anything exciting?


Shell, because you have been so kind and helpful to, I wanted to say thank you and I'm so glad you visit my blog!  Oh, and Shell, YOU GOT INKED!!!!

    Thank you so much for the award, INK! Good luck with GUTGAA and the progress bar. The HTML I emailed to you should work as it's the exact one I use, if that helps. You have a great blog and definitely have the bloggy spirit!

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...

The Writers Voice Entry

How excited am I? Can't you hear me laughing and squeeing, right there where you are? Yep! I'm excited! I made it tot he first round of the Writers Voice!! So today, I've posted my entry, here int his blog post, for the coaches to come around and read and decide if I'm ready to move on to the next round. Keep your fingers crossed for me PLEASE:) The entry I'm posting as went through numerous rounds of edits and revisions to get it where it is already. I've cut, squeezed, rearranged and replaced so much, I think my brain is on fire! I've changed names, combined characters, cut characters, and I've changed titles a couple of times and agonized over my genre until I cried . I've put th e first three chapters through a couple of workshops and had feedback from a few agents, so I'm sure I 've got the results I wanted. (I can be honest, can't I?) So, here we go, you beautiful guys and dolls. Feel free to leave any comments that might ...

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Hey everyone! I'm taking a quick break from vacation to introduce myself and say hi! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and meeting some new friends! -Where do you write? I live in a camper. My writing spot? Usually in bed. But sometimes I get a chance to write in the "living room" but that's rare. When I am at home (yay!) I have my own little office:) I love m space there and I can write during the day light hours. Oh, who am I kidding! That's rare. -Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see? My husband. Yeah, he sleeps with me! -Favorite time to write? At night. When it's quite. Aaahhh. Sweet quite. -Drink of choice while writing? Depends on the time of day I get to write. In the morning, coffee, coffee and more coffee. (with Creme Brulee creamer!) Afternoon it's iced coffee. After school, it's Dr. Pepper. Night it's water. -When writin...
