After all, doesn't the sun and warmth make you want to go outside instead of hide away in front of a computer screen? ...or is that just 'cause I live on the west coast where there's all together too many grey skies throughout the year?
Well, to motivate me to edit my now completed first draft of 'Brake Fluid, Blood & Body Bags', I've joined the Hooks & Hangers Blogfest.
Want the rules?
We all know how important the first and last lines are in every chapter. This blogfest will hopefully get your HOOKERS and HANGERS polished making it impossible for readers to put down your book and leaving them begging for more!
On July 16th, post the first sentence from each chapter.
On July 18th, post the last sentence from each chapter.
Post as many as you like!
We will be judging everyone’s first three HOOKERS and first three HANGERS. We’ll each pick two winners (MOST ENTICING HOOKER and MOST IMPOSSIBLE HANGER) making a total of ten winners! Winners will receive a 10 page (double spaced) critique and a Friday Spotlight on FFF!
I've been considering doing this blogfest. This could be just the incentive I need to hunker down and get some serious progress made on my revisions for MINGLED. Thanks for the reminder about this blogfest.
ReplyDeleteThank prerna, she posted about it, which lead me to it in the first place :)
DeleteFirst of all - it's this month, secndly how can one do as many as we like since each chapter has only one first and one last line, unless you mean as many chapters as we like? And just so you know while it may be great in BC we're boiling here and our annual bbq is tomorrow.... but I'm cool, litterally, I sat in the pool with the water up to my neck ... lovely
ReplyDeleteYes, as many chapters as you want, but I think you for sure have to do the first three, 'cause that's what's voted on
DeleteAlas, that only works for people who do chapters. The rest of us will wonder why you have chapters at all ...
ReplyDeleteIn seriousness, the whys and wherefores of chapters in adult fiction is probably an interesting debate to have.
You should enter the hooks/hangers of 'Boy & Fox'!!!
