WRiTE CLUB - Battle it out with DL Hammons

Good morning peeps!

Today I come bearing news of a kickass contest, held by DL Hammons! Apparently, WRiTE CLUB was first held last year, but as I wasn't blogging then, yesterday was the first time I heard about it.



WRiTE CLUB is kind of like the writers version of a knockout, in which writers are pitted against each other - anonymously so there is no need to be afraid - in numerous rounds with a final winner being chosen at the end by a team of incredible people including authors, editors and agents!

All of the details can be found here, check it out, sign up, and get ready to do battle!

    I'm tempted, but I'm not sure I can afford the time - I really should get SOME writing done this year!

    I've given you an award on my blog - please stop by to check it out :-)

      Annalisa, I think it's a one time 500 word sample. With all your short story expertise, this ought to be a cake walk for you!

      Ah, thanks Elizabeth - I'm sure I read the original post carefully, and I understood that it was a new piece for each round. I'll go back and read it properly!

    This is the way to fight. The pen, (or in this case the keyboard), is mightier right?

    Thanks Kyra; I missed this post. It was a lot of fun last year and I'm sure DL amped it up some this time.

IWSG: Performance anxiety

Welcome to the August edition of IWSG, hosted by the amazing Alex J.Cavanaugh ! So, as most of you know by now - because I haven't shut up about it LOL - my first novel, Game On, has been released. The blog tour officially starts next week (YAY!) but I find myself becoming increasingly nervous. A blog tour not only highlights my book, but me. What if people don't like me? What if my guest posts suck, and everyone thinks I'm boring? If I can't engage people in 300 words on a blog, they probably aren't going to pick up my book. And then there's the "what happens next" question. I plan to make Game On into a series, which feels a bit arrogant of me. I don't know how many people are going to like the first book, should I really be planning to keep the series going? So far, Game On has actually been incredibly well received. I've had great reviews, so maybe I shouldn't worry about people not liking it, but what if Book Two isn't as goo

First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest

Yay, it's blogfest time! Many thanks to Danielle and Jackie for hosting! Here are the details: Share your 1 st FIGHT and 1 st KISS scenes in your MS’s or WIP’s. Crack open your current project or dive back into an old one. We want to feel what your characters feel. From the sting of their first fist-to-the-face to the tingling taste of their first kiss. Today is First Fight day, and I wanted to bring you a small excerpt from my NaNo novel which centres around Jesse Shaw, one of the characters from Game On. It's a bit rough, and a bit vague - mainly because I wrote it quickly, Jesse's voice still needs work, and this fight in full would be packed with spoilers, but hopefully it gives enough info to make sense!   Just to clear up a small thing - Georgia is Isabelle's twin sister. :)   ** “Izzy,” I said. “You know the right thing to do.” Isabelle looked down at me with those big brown eyes, and my insides twisted with guilt. Right away, I realised

IWSG: Am I doing it right? And does anyone care?

Happy IWSG Day! This genius idea created by Alex J. Cavanaugh is a place for all of us insecure writers to gather together to talk about our worries, and cheer each other on. Check out the full list of participants here ! Think right now about your favourite writers. How do you feel when you know they have a new book being released? It's usually something like, "HURRY UP, I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE!" right? And also, think about when one of your super talented blog buddies announces they've got a book coming out soon. That is even more exciting because it's someone you know, someone you may have seen struggling to reach their goal of publication. Someone you've seen go through the rough times, and have finally made it to where they want to be. I can tell you that when Jolene Perry, or Nyrae Dawn announce a book release - I bounce up and down like a crazy person! These two awesome ladies are writers I absolutely adore for their ability to write so natural
