Celebrate the Small Things *smiley face*

Yes! So happy it's Friday, and so happy to celebrate! In a world where it can be so dark and depressing, we all need little things that keep us a float and puts a smile on our face.

Today, I celebrate:

1.  Air conditioning when it's hot.
2. Swimming pools in the summer.
3. A washing machine that works:)
4. Family night.

and...

5. YOU! If it wasn't for your faithful visits to my blog, I would have given up so long ago. I can count of certain ones who I know, without a doubt, will stop by my blog, offer a hug and smile, along with words of encouragement. And really, I don't even know you, never met you. But I do appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness and I want to say...

Thank you.

    We won't let you give up!
    I could not live in the South without air conditioning.

    We haven't had to turn on the air yet, but it'll happen soon! Right now we're enjoying the late spring sunshine. :)

    Air conditioning is lovely, and swimming pools are absolute bliss!

    That's a great list of things to celebrate! As much as I hate doing laundry, I have to celebrate the fact that I have the ability to get it done.

    Since today was laundry day around here, I'm joining with you in celebrating a working washer! Yay!

    I'm still not celebrating a washing machine that works. If I'm lucky the repair guy is coming today with the new part! I'm almost out of clean undies!

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...
