Game On, Kyra, Game On

FRIDAY!

Gigantic thank yous to everyone who commented on my IWSG post on Wednesday! I have just finished replying to all the comments, and I feel so very lucky to have so many people supporting me! Also, thanks to everyone who showed support for Madeleine's new book yesterday, I know she really appreciates it!

So ... the Game On Blog Tour starts on Monday and I am SO EXCITED! See, CAPS LOCK excited lol! I am still nervous, but mostly, I can't wait to get the book out there and finally show it off! The complete list of blog tour stops is up on the Game On Blog Tour page, so you can see where I'll be and what I'm doing. I will post where I am daily anyway, but it's good to have the list there so you can check it in advance if you so wish. There is a lot of cool stuff going on, and a few giveaways. It should be fun!

P.S - Just want to say again, if you were expecting an email from me about participating in the blog tour and you didn't get one, please let me know ASAP, thanks!

Yesterday, I had a major breakthrough in Jesse's story. I'd been stuck for more than a week, staring at it, and wondering if it was even the right story to tell. But finally, the muse returned and I managed to get 3000 words done. I now only have two and a half chapters left to write of the first draft before I can start editing!


I really thought I had so much more to say, but I guess I don't - first time for everything, right? :p

Hope you all have a fab weekend!

    Yay for Jesse's story being told! I really loved this character. Although, I may be a bit partial to him, since he's going to be featured on my end of things for your Game On tour, LOL.

    Seriously, Kyra I really did fall in love with this very sweet character, and I think his story will be epic. Can't wait to read all about it.

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...

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Oh, I have SO been looking forward to this!! But, before I start, I need to send a huge apology to Emily R.King and Melodie Wright. I signed up to their What I Did Last Summer Bloghop , but it looks like I'm not going to have the time to participate. :( I've never backed out of a bloghop before, but as you may have noticed, I've been kind of out of the blogging loop for a while and now I'm struggling to catch up! Please go and check out Emily and Melodie's hop, though - it's fun! :D NOW, onto GUTGAA! This amazing blogfest was put together by Deana Barnhart , and was designed to help writers in their quest to find an agent, plus help form connections between writers. The idea is genius and I am so excited to be a part of it! So, I am going to begin with the meet and greet questions, and I'll be hopping around to other blogs later! :D Bio : Kyra Lennon was born on the South coast of England, and to this day, still lives by the sea.

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...
