Celebrate the small things...

Man! Time goes by so fast! I can't believe it's Friday already!

Today, I celebrate one small thing.

I am happy I have a warm, dry house.

Which, if you think about it, it's not a small thing. So, I love my home and my family and I am thankful for that.

What about you?

Thanks Vikki for hosting:)

    that's something i too am grateful for. i think we tend to forget how the small things are actually much bigger than we think.

    That's a great thing to be thankful for. I have to remember that every time I take my dog for a walk down the beach and get soaked to the skin with snow and rain!

    Hello! I'm brand-spanking-new to the site, having just discovered it from the samll things blog hop and I wanted to say hi. So HI!

    It's great that you can feel real gratitude at the simple realities of life without searching for more than that. We could all sue more gratitude.

    Anyways, seeing as you're also doing the a to z challenge I will be seeing you on Monday!

    Much love!
    Bev

    We often take the shelter of our homes for granted. Thanks for that reminder!

    Home and family are great things to celebrate, definitely. And there's not much that beats warmth!

    Those are great things to be thankful for. Among the most important, definitely. I'm thankful for peace and happiness. I lived a long time without either.

    Happy Easter! xo

    Hi! I'm visiting from the A to Z list - getting a jumpstart on checking out a few blogs before it officially starts. I'm very thankful for my wonderful family which is anything but small, so I will choose something 'smaller': my desk where I can dream and create! Cheers!

    Having had a damp and freezing house for three weeks last November when the boiler broke and the floor beneath it and the darned thing itself had to be replaced, I share whole-heartedly in your celebration! Small indeed? More of a champagne moment ;)

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 ...

Workshop 10

Today, let's get readers hooked from the very first sentence. If you do, you are off to a great start and hopefully a great first chapter. We are going to focus on the first and second sentence and how you can draw readers in while introducing two major items about your book: 1. Your MC 2. The main conflict. How? Is it really possible to do this in only TWO sentences? YES! Example: My name is Snow, like the white powder that falls during winter, though I don't know what my mom was thinking because it was ninety degrees the day I was born. I turned twelve the year I married a man I hated and thirteen when my first baby was born. This sentence tells us a lot. It shows us a little about Snow's personality, it hints toward a shortened childhood and could possibly point to a different time era. I also can definitely see the conflict. Can you? You only have a few minutes to make a good, first impression. Make sure you wow your reader enough they'll actually t...
