    Yikes. I just read and voted for another story. I didn't know you had an entry. Am I only permitted to vote once?

    haha...I just read what you wrote to Melissa. If we're allowed to vote for more than one then, even if I vote for my own, I can for yours as well. Honestly, I like this better than mine. It was SO well written. I was really impressed. So...VOTE :)

    I read your entry. Color me impressed! I'm not usually one for creepy stories, but I couldn't tear myself away from your piece. Wonderful story and imagery. I voted for you, and also mentioned your entry in my blog post of today. Check out my shout-out to you when you can. :-)

    Smooches, and good luck!

    Hi there, dropped in to read your flash fiction entry but I can't seem to find it! It's probably a glitch my end but thought I'd mention it in case the link has broken or something. I will keep trying.

    I read it - it's great! :) and yes I voted for it.

    Re: memes/tags, yes, I am notorious for falling very behind. To think I only had that one waiting for me all this time. haha

    Hey there-the links don't seem to be working for me, and I also can't find a place to join your blog (I might have already but your homepage isn't letting me scroll down to see your followers). When I click the VOTE links or any of the links to go see your writing it just brings me back to your page... :(

    Um, yeah, there's something broken or misplaced. No story to be found. Yikes. Fix. Fast!

      I went back and replaced the links. Hopefully it works now! Also, please vote with your name. Anonymous votes will not count.

      Thanks so much for visiting!

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...
