    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... :(

      Thanks so much for visiting!

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

Insecure Writers Group

Today, my feelings are mixed. On one hand, I've faced more rejection and that's not easy to write about or admit to the world. But I am not crying in my "milk" (no beer, folks:) I want to, but what good would it do??? I received a detailed critique from a "Best First Line" contest. The critique was the best I have ever received and seriously opened my eyes to "how" to improve my writing. Nice! Speaking of critiques, I am still looking for a critique partner. If anyone is looking back, please let me know and we can swap info. I'm sending off a YA query letter and first pages to 3 agents this week. Wish me luck. This will be the first time I have directly contacted and agent with a query. Yes, I'm nervous, so I'm saying again, WISH ME LUCK!!!

Workshop 13

First, sorry about the wonky formatting. I tried, but couldn't fix it... Passive voice. Do you know what passive voice is and why you shouldn't use much passive voice in your writing? It's fairly easy to define, but much harder to avoid in you writing. Passive Voice: It can be defined as using the object of a sentence as the subject, combined with a the "be" form and past participle. Example: The snowman                               has been melted                          by the sun. Poor snowman! Frosty just can't take the heat! But, seriously, here's the breakdown.   The snowman is the wrongly placed subject. has been melted uses the "be" form verb has been and adds the past participle melted . by the sun is a prepositional phrase, with sun as the object of the preposition. We can remove the "be" form helping verbs, change the subject and remove the prepositional phrase, and TA-DA! no more passive voice
