    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!

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

    (the 'webcam video' message on the vlog also shows it was recorded after the time posts were due :-( )

    Love historical fantasy, interesting concept. Even if this doesn't work out KEEP PITCHING!!

      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...

      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!

    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.

    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.

      Thank you Jess! Sorry about the volume problem. I know mine wasn't very audible.

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...

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 Round two

Hey beautiful guys and dolls!! Welcome to my first post during WRITER IN MOTION round two. I was lucky enough to be chosen in the raffle to have my short, 1,000 word or less flash fiction chosen to be edited by a professional editor! So, follow along  my journey as I go from prompt to polished draft in for weeks. Out first post is prepping for the first draft. Given the prompt, what were my first thoughts and what did I do to prep the character, story, and plot?? HEre's the photo prompt: Honestly, it didn't speak me. At all. I was lost, and my excitement quickly deflated like a helium balloon stuffed in the back of a dark closet. Not because I didn't like the photo. I LOVED it. But because I was completely lost in ideas. So, I put the put the picture away, and ignored it. Well, that's not true. The photo haunted me for hours. Who was this girl? Why was she here? What had happened up to this point in time? That's when it hit me. Tell the story before...
