Thank you

Thank you for all your prayers, thoughts, and condolences during my time of loss. The funeral was very hard. I was so thankful for my family and support of my friends.

During the viewing and wake at the church, my mommy had to go to the emergency room. I've never been more scared for her life. We all thought she had a heart attack, but the EKG showed nothing wrong. She is home now and feeling much better.

The one bright side of the funeral was seeing family and cousins I haven't seen since I was a child. Why do we always wait until a tragedy to get together with family? We've planned a family reunion for this summer and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again.

The one thing I learned this past weekend? Enjoy every minute of life and NEVER take your family and friends for granted. Tell them every day how much you love them because you never know when the last opportunity will pass.

Have a great week with your family, beautiful guys and dolls. See you Wednesday for ISWG.

I love you, Uncle Jimmy. Give granny and papa a hug for me when you meet them in heaven.

    Glad your mother is all right!
    There's a lesson there about appreciating people while they are still here.

    I'm sorry about your loss. It must have been frightening having your mother in that predicament at such a fragile time. I'm pleased she's all right. Family is so important. It's sad that we don't think about getting together until there is some major family event.

    I'm sorry about your loss and the stressful occurrence. I'm glad your mother is alright. I do agree that a funeral, though sad is a good time to see family again. I wish my extended family got together more frequently than the sad times.

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...
