Today, we have a bloghop!
I'm so thankful to my readers, of all kinds!
Thank you to my crit
partners, who pick apart my stories, are bluntly honest and therefore only
help make my novels better, and who have shared more laughs, late-night
giggles, and inside jokes than I can even recount. Most of you have seen me in
every state imaginable, including my super-hyper-sugared-up-and-caffeinated
state. (Even if I will never live down army crawling across the floor.)
(There is a story to that. It was like 2AM, and one of my
writing partners goes, "Hey, Laura, what if I told you my two characters
might not get together?" I crawled over to her in a flash and went, "WHAT?"
THEY NEEDED TO GET TOGETHER.)
Thank you to my blog
readers, who are so encouraging and thoughtful and have stuck with me
through so much. I've met some incredible people through the blogosphere. For
you, my first attempt at a haiku:
Marvelous readers
Make the blogosphere go round
Wonderful people
And in addition, as thanks, I know there are a lot of
writers on here, so for the first five
people who mention they want it in the comment, I'll edit the first ten
pages of your book. Or the first chapter, if it's under fifteen pages. (I work
as a professional editor.)
Thank you to my book
readers, who buy my books and support me that way. In thanks, for one week
only, I'm making Rising Book 1:
Resistance available for free on Smashwords. You can use coupon code VT82D. You can get any ebook version you want using that coupon code here: Rising Book 1: Resistance
(Also, for the month of November, I have Confessions from the Realm of the Underworld (Also Known as High School) for $0.99 on Smashwords using coupon code HB87F, which you can purchase here if you so desire: Confessions on Smashwords.)
Thanks to all of you who help, encourage, and support me in so many ways! You are all so awesome!!!
Aww! I love the picture you created to show the crit partners sleep over. And the haiku was so sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteThe blogging world is so awesome!
ReplyDeletecrit partners are so helpful. And I can't imagine where I'd be without the support of my blog readers.
ReplyDeleteLove the illustration of your Crit Slumber Party! :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the Thankful Blog Hop!
Very cool little illustration and haiku! Where would we all be without our crit partners?
ReplyDeleteOh, Laura... you're so awesome! I love the arrows to the sleeping bags, LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd you're such a unique blogger... I've always enjoyed how different you are. It's clear you're a talent and I'm so proud/excited for all your endeavors!
Yes, this online writing community is awesome and incredible! I can't even describe how supportive and encouraging all of you are of me! You're great people! :)
ReplyDeleteIt'd be fun to have a huge writer blogger party so we could meet everyone.
ReplyDeleteYour diagram is hilarious. It sounds like you have awesome critters. :)
ReplyDeleteFunny story, and how fun you got to have a sleepover with your crit partners. Thanks for the freebie! You are AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture and a wonderful thank you! Also you're so nice to be offering up your book for free. You rock!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why I'm only just now following you, because I read Rising several months ago and loved it! The army crawling story is HILARIOUS! I'm pretty sure I've done something similar only for a far different reason...*what do you mean we're out of Nutella* :D

ReplyDeleteWhat a great thank you post! And thank you for sharing your book. I look forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteThe crawling story is funny, and the haiku is wonderful! Thanks for sharing your work! I would love to have a free 10 page crit of my novel Champion in the Darkness. I feel like my first ten pages have been through so much work, and yet . . .they still aren't really right yet.

ReplyDeletesatta king If you struggle with remembering things, you might be deficient in Omega 3 fatty acids.
At bedtime, elevate your head using pillows. This will allow your airways to remain open as you sleep, and will reduce sleep apnea. Just make sure that your neck and back are comfortable so that you are not causing any pain in these areas while you are trying to help your sleep apnea.satta king
