A Promo Opportunity For All the Rainbow . . .

FOR ALL MY RAINBOW WRITERS OUT THERE . . . AN OPPORTUNITY . . .
A group I am a part of (Marketing For Romance Writers) is putting together a Mini-book to help promote authors and an upcoming Blog Hop and i'm helping organize the project. 

So, what is a mini-book you might ask? It is a book that contains excerpts written by the various authors who are a part of it from works they are promoting.

Now, the catch . . .YOU MUST BE A PART OF THE MFRW GROUP IN ORDER TO BE A PART. But joining the MFRW is FREE and so worth it! Ask me how to join if you are interested . . .

Our first minibook is due to come out in coordination with our next hop, the Rainbow hop. If you write in this category, we would love to promote your book. Submissions will close on May 29th at noon. This is a FREE promotional book for anyone in the MFRW Rainbow category. The book will be published in conjunction with our Rainbow Hop June 14-16.

Faith in humanity, and LOVE in various forms.

I hate watching the news. ALWAYS. Because I feel like it focuses on all the bad stuff happening everywhere in the world. And I feel like a lot of people spend too much talking about the way the world is, and not the world as it could be. I understand that there is a time and place for everything, and at this time and in this place I would like to point out some things to help you, my loyal reader, have a better, happier, more hopeful day! So, to begin . . .
http://www.buzzfeed.com/expresident/pictures-that-will-restore-your-faith-in-humanity

And this . . . Some One Direction to help you love yourself some more!

And next . . . some beautiful love . . .between men (Non Work Safe!) 

And finally . . . . A Blog Hop to win stuff !!

The hop runs from midnight Dec. 17th  to midnight Dec, 19th.

You get three entries at each blog stop. One for answering a question at each blog stop, one for following each blog and another for commenting. You don't have to do it all but it gives you a better chance if you do. So even if you stop by just one blog you can win. Hope you will keep hopping though.

Wt's Question: What is the name of the lead character in Wt Prater's Shattered Mirrors? 
(Clue: http://www.wtprater.com/the_writing_is___)

Send info to (careydoucet@yahoo.com) Please send it all in one email. If she gets an email for each blog, you will not qualify for the grand prize. It would just be too confusing to figure out that way. So one email with all the hop info.

Example of hop email for contest:

Once Upon a Time, in the Land of the Secret Santa Blog Hop . . .


Eight months ago, I didn't know what a blog was. I didn't know what there were used for, or why i needed one. I have since learned that blogs are a great way to learn about new authors and their projects, leave snarky comments, and fall in love with books and/or authors another way. I am very grateful that had friends and fellow authors lead me and show me how to do things that I could only have dreamed of. I want to thank to each and everyone of my followers, my mentors, and even my critics, because of you I have grown as man, and as a writer. And as a present to you all, I am doing the Secret Santa Blog Hop. Here's the deal: 

The hop runs from midnight Dec. 17th  to midnight Dec, 19th.

You get three entries at each blog stop. One for answering a question at each blog stop, one for following each blog and another for commenting. You don't have to do it all but it gives you a better chance if you do. So even if you stop by just one blog you can win. Hope you will keep hopping though.

I'm declaring yet another Flash Fiction Friday on my blog. The idea is simple. . . I will give you the title/theme . . . You will write a story 100 words long (no more, no less) . . . and then we'll let the audience decide who best captured the title/theme. And guess what? There is a prize, other then maybe self-discipline and a seed for a new story, or stories. Who wants to challenge themselves and others?

The theme will be announced be announced Thursday around 4pm and ANYONE can enter a story until around 5 pm Central Time Friday. You can enter by writing a story the length stated above and emailing that story to wtprater.jwasg@yahoo.com by 5 pm Central Time Friday. I will then post all the entries on the my blog Friday evening. Ask your friends and family to come read all the entries, and vote for the best one by leaving comments (Only one vote per comment, please) . I will go through the comments and post the winner Saturday afternoon. I reserve the right to bring in other off-line judges if there are not enough comments.

****One entry per author, please****

**** Warning: If your entry is less or more than 100 words (hyphenated words are counted separately), it will not be posted. PERIOD. And I will deal with spacing issues, but otherwise, I will not edit or correct spelling or grammar. ****

  
And this week's prizes: A hand knitted scarf of purple yarn (knitted by yours personally)!


This week's theme is : What a Twisted Memory  I have . . .


Two MUSTS for this one: It must be based on a real memory AND there must be a twist.THESE ELEMENTS MUST BE PRESENT IN ALL ENTRIES!!! Just remember 100 words exactly. Have fun and get to writing!




My Example:

     The old building stood before us, as we took the campus tour. It had been gutted and empty, and waited to be reconstructed as a more current structure of itself.

     That felt a lot like my life, on my own for the first time.

     I was shocked to find someone in my group that went to my high school. He was one of the boys that tormented me for being out. Completely straight, and homophobic.

     Until less than a month later, we found a way into that empty building, and he had me pinned to the ground, sucking my cock.


SO YOU'RE ENTERING . . . Thanks! And some last minute helpful tips!

1. READ THE RULES.

2. Comment below on Thursday, saying, "I'm in" or "I wanna" or something like that so I can keep an eye out for your e---mail.

3. Email your story to wtprater.jwasg@yahoo.com by 5 pm Central Time Friday. (Voting will begin after the stories are posted, around 6 pm Friday. )

4. Have your family your family, friends, and whatever and vote for the best story (perhaps yours) by leaving comments Friday or early Saturday (voting cuts off at 6 pm Central Saturday) . If you or anyone you know can not comment, simply email me at the above email and I will count those votes before I announce anything saturday.

5. Come back Saturday after 6 pm and check out / congratulation the winner.
