First of all, I want to mention a couple of contests that are going on right now.
Today is the last day for the 100 Followers Contest over at Critique This WIP. Prizes are chapter critiques by the gang over there – click on the link now to enter!
Roni, of Fiction Groupie, and Julie, of Diary of an Unpublished Wanna-Be Writer, are hosting Roni and Julie’s Totally Epic Summer Contest. They’ve been interviewing authors and agents all week, and are offering a variety of fabulous prizes, including books, critiques, and query opportunities. Hurry on over there to enter – contest deadline is Sunday, August 8.
And now, to introduce you to a new blogger!
Melanie Smith is a member of the Fresno Sci-Fi & Fantasy Writers and a dear friend of mine. She’s also an editor and a word-crafter par excellence!
Mellie’ new blog is called Thursday-ish. Why? In her words:
“Why Thursday, you ask? Monday and Tuesday are very busy for me. Wednesday is too finely balanced in the middle of the week, and Friday is busy again, with my mind on other things. Thursday, though, is like an eddy of time in my busy life. It’s the day I’m most likely to spend with a friend, or painting a watercolor, or writing. I’m not all that good at deadlines, however, so I’m only promising Thursday-ISH. It might be later, or I may feel perfectly balanced and write something brilliant on Wednesday. One never knows…”
So join me in welcoming her, and hop on over to see what she says about her love affair…with words.
Thanks so much, Roh! I’m just finally getting the hang of this blog thing and where to do things…and how. Ok, maybe I haven’t figured out the how, but I’m leaving a comment – that’s gotta count for something, right?
I love your blog – your graphic is lovely, and everything is so easy to find (I may not understand it, but I can find it!) Great job. I hope, eventually, I might actually be an asset to you. 🙂 Until then, I just enjoy being your friend.
Thanks, Mellie, for the kudos on my blog. You already are an asset and a great friend to boot!
