  1. Maybe you need to put a link in the above post - it was hard for me to find your entry, and judging by the lack of comments others might be having the same problem. :)

    I like the sound of this story, a historical Fantasy with a great premise. Good luck!

  2. I think this also go skipped because it shows it was posted after the deadline:

    1. I sent an email to Brenda explaining why my video was late and asked if i could post it later. I had a close friend pass away the night before and I was on the phone with family and friends all morning...

    2. Condolences to you and your loved ones, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

      With all that, it's amazingly dedicated that you even managed to pull things together to make this. I'm rooting for you!

  3. I'm sorry about your situation, my prayers are with you and your friends. I came by several times in the morning and didn't see this. I just read my contest email - I rarely go on it when I'm not expecting entries there. Keep your video up, there have been agents stalking the blogs viewing them since yesterday. Some are not on the agent list. Also, get your pitch ready for Trick and Treat with Agents starting Oct. 24.

  4. I loved your pitch! I could use 100 years of beauty rest myself :) Great last line.

    Oh, and sorry it took so long for me to comment on this~ the volume on my computer stinks, so I had to wait for a time when I could find a quiet spot to listen.

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

EVER Blog Hop!!!!!

I joined a blog hop flash writing contest with/for Jessa Russo. It's in honor of her first EVER book release. I met Jessa during the Curiosity Quills Blog hop. I have never read a ghost story, but after reading Jessa's query and first few pages and then learning more about her ghost Frankie, I was so inspired, I fell in love -with Frankie. I was so inspired, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and write a story I had never written before and never thought I would write. Or even want to write. But I did, and I did. My piece for the contest is a small part of my bigger manuscript I wrote. I had to modify and change a few things so the story would make sense, but I think it works. At least, I hope it does:) How to vote: Comment at the end of the end of this post. You must have the word "VOTE" in your comment for it to be considered valid. VOTING IS OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30TH!!!! Ready? Well, lets go! --> The Man With the Black Hood knocked
