Sidelined Blog Tour PLUS Cat Anthology Details!

Hi everyone,

Today, the blog tour chugs along to Sarah Foster's place, where there will be an excerpt from Taylor from Sidelined's diary, and to Chrys Fey's blog were you will find an excerpt from Sidelined.

I hope you are all enjoying the blog tour so far!

Now, a while ago I mentioned the creation of a cat anthology, with proceeds going to Teignbridge and Totnes Cats Protection! I had enough interest in the project to go ahead with it so I'm getting it set up now with a long deadline, so you will have time to participate if you wish to!



The details:

The story MUST have a cat in it (obviously :p )

You can write a story within your usual genre - even if it's a sci-fi cat, or a paranormal cat, or a love story that has a cat in it

 You can write a poem if you prefer

The absolute maximum word count is 2500 words

All entries must be edited by the author prior to publication

You MUST write somewhere on your post that you allow permission for me to use your work in the book

You must also attach a short bio and one link to a place people can find you online

Authors retain copyright for any work submitted to the anthology, and can republish their own work elsewhere, with the understanding that all proceeds for THIS anthology will be going to Cats Protection. 
 

The deadline for your entries is September 5th 2014 - when there will be a bloghop to celebrate so you can show off your work on your blog before they go into the book AND all participants will be entered into a draw to win a $10 Amazon Gift Card! I will be closing the signs ups on Monday as they have already been up a while but if you see this later and want to be involved, drop me an email and I'll see if I can fit you in. :)

Please tell me if I have forgotten to mention anything!

    I probably won't write a cat story, but will spread the news about the anthology for you.

    I don't know if I'll get time to write a cat story, but you've given me a lot of time to do so. :) Have a great weekend.

    Definitely interested in participating, because I'm a complete cat addict and always willing to help out kitties in need. I'm currently writing a short film script where a cat plays an important part. Would that be okay too? Otherwise I can come up with something else.

      Hi Vanessa - the linky list is still open so if you want to sign up, please do!

      I wouldn't want to take your film script for this project just because it sounds like you will be wanting to sell/publish it elsewhere, but I will happily accept anything else from you!

    I signed up. I'm going to write a true story about the four kittens I saved. I actually have a post going up on the 31st of this month about them. :D

    I just have one question. My mom is a writer and is interested in participating, too, but she doesn't have a blog. Could she email you her entry instead?

    Is the list still open? I don't see any sign-up form to fill out, or a notice saying the list is closed. Also, if the list is still open, would it be okay to write a story about stuffed cats coming to life when they're alone?

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
