Game On Blog Tour Day 8 - Post Olympics Crash

Good morning! :D

I am supposed to be feeling refreshed after a weekend of relaxation but ... not so much. Anyone else got an Olympics hangover today? I stayed up entirely too late watching the closing ceremony - and now I'm a little bit sleepy, and wondering what to watch on TV now all the sports are over!

No time to be too sleepy though, there are three stops on the blog tour today!

Emily R. King - one of the sweetest bloggers in blogland  - will be holding a Game On giveaway, so make sure you stop by and check it out!

I visit writer of Provex City, Michael Pierce, to talk about turning Game On into a series - and give you a small glimpse into some of my plans for future books.

And the lovely Aubrie Dionne will be giving a Game On shoutout!


Thanks to you all for having me!

Now, I'm off to work on a brand new story idea that came to me in a dream! Not sure if I can really do that much with it, but it's nagging away at my brain, so I have to give it a try!

Hope you all have a lovely day!

    I'm completely lost regarding TV viewing - although #2 son is watching Lord of the Rings, so I won't have to decide for about 9 hours!

    Love the spontaneous ideas - hope it works out!

    WOOT! I can't believe I've missed 8 days of this. I'm a terrible bloggy friend. I blame my brain-deadness from my offline life ;)

    Congratulations on completing the first week of your tour, and good lick with the second! :D

    Not missing the Olympics, actually looking forwards to seven episodes of EastEnders! ;)

    Already visited one of those stops! Didn't stay up to watch all of the ceremony, but caught most of it.

    I stayed up waaaaaayyy too late (even let the wee one stay up too). Now, I have to read a bunch of really boring academic papers... ::wishes for olympics to still be on::

    Dreams are where all of my fiction ideas came from.

    I enjoyed the ending ceremony. England did a great job with the Olympics.

    Ooh! YAY!
    I'm not feeling relaxed after the weekend either, although it has less to do with the Olympics and more to do with a sick husband. Guys are such wimps when they're sick. It's horrible!

    Can't wait to check out what everyone has in store for your tour today! :)

    I am missing the olympics! Didn't meant to watch the entire thing last night but it kept getting weirder and weirder and I couldn't look away!

    I love the urgency of a new idea.

    I hope you get some rest.

    *group hugs* I know this is not the ideal way to reply to comments, but I am drowning in real life stuff at the moment, and battling sleep deprivation! Thanks all for your comments - love ya!

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
