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...

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...
