I'm Thankful For My Readers BlogHop

This month Vikki and Tara have put on a fabulous blog hop about being thankful.

Appreciation goes on long way and makes others feel so good! I started out a few weeks ago, sending out thank you awards to all my followers and I never finished. *ducks head in shame*

I AM thankful to ALL my followers and those who visit regularly even without a follow. If no one read my blog, there would be no need for my blog, right?

On a more individual basis, there are several people I'd like to thank:

Vikki, for listening to my ideas and reading my WIP for critique.

Yolanda Renee, for letting me be her buddy on NaNo even though I didn't know how to find the buddy button.

Alex, for always visiting my blog and offering a kind word of encouragement.

Courtney, for helping me so much with my query letter, that I'm still working on...

Julie for always smiling my way and offer a good shoulder to lean on.

Suzanne for her never ending "you can do it" cheers and cyber friendship:)

Rachel, because she always says kind words to me and about me.

And for EVERY visitor that comes by Ink in the Book, and EVERY follower who visits and leaves a comment. Really, if it weren't for you, there would be no need for my blog.

      Well I'm honored-- thanks for stopping by my blog and redirecting me this way! And thank YOU for your support.

      You know what's funny? I get your blog in my feed and, of course, have it listed in my blog roll, so I never realized I wasn't officially on the follower list over there ------>

      I am now.

      Sometimes, I think I must be part machine! But I guess it's because I miss a LOT of sleep...

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...

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...

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...
