Friday Fun

Just popping in to say hi, and I miss you guys so much! It's been a long, crazy week and things will be calming down after the weekend.

My question for you to ponder this weekend:

Have you ever done or said or wrote something you felt completely felt like a fool over later? How did you handle it? What did you do?

Have a BEAUTIFUL weekend guys and dolls!

If you are in the workshop, next week is the final week before submissions. PLEASE ask any questions you may have. There will be a lot going on next week as final preparations begin.

As for my secret, I still can't tell. I'm waiting I hear the answer. Hopefully today...

    I have experienced the post-embarrassment of doing, saying and writing something.Those times one just says "swallow me, Earth." I pretend it never happened or I try to think on other times that I've been brilliant. Have a great weekend!

      Some things are just too much to pretend I never did it. But, life goes on, we recover and better days smile upon us:)

    Talynn - you don't have enough blog space for some of the stupid things I've done. LOL If it was against someone else, I apologized. Even shame faced, shuffling feet, in need of a good punch, I did it. Or made sure it was a story for others to laugh at me.

    I am glad you are having an exciting and great week. Psst...what secret?? Oh, come on, you can tell me...

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...

The Writers Voice Entry

How excited am I? Can't you hear me laughing and squeeing, right there where you are? Yep! I'm excited! I made it tot he first round of the Writers Voice!! So today, I've posted my entry, here int his blog post, for the coaches to come around and read and decide if I'm ready to move on to the next round. Keep your fingers crossed for me PLEASE:) The entry I'm posting as went through numerous rounds of edits and revisions to get it where it is already. I've cut, squeezed, rearranged and replaced so much, I think my brain is on fire! I've changed names, combined characters, cut characters, and I've changed titles a couple of times and agonized over my genre until I cried . I've put th e first three chapters through a couple of workshops and had feedback from a few agents, so I'm sure I 've got the results I wanted. (I can be honest, can't I?) So, here we go, you beautiful guys and dolls. Feel free to leave any comments that might ...

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...
