Write On Con 2013

2013 Y'all

I know some of you might remember me being kind of depressed about WriteOnCon last year, and I'm not saying that having another year with no agent is awesome or anything, but I'm trying to go in with a better attitude this time. I've already had one partial request for RUNNING FROM RUBY RIDGE, which is great, but I'm also just trying to enjoy helping other writers. That's why I started this old blog in the first place, anyway.

For now, I would really appreciate if all of you would visit my threads, and give me feedback on what I've shared. You've got:

The Query Letter for RUNNING FROM RUBY RIDGE

The first 250 words of RUNNING FROM RUBY RIDGE

The first five pages of RUNNING FROM RUBY RIDGE

and my Intro Post, which mostly just leads back here and to some other cool query related stuff.

Otherwise, I think all you writers should get involved too! Go sign up. Jump into the forums, and get involved.

And feel free to link to anything you've put up over there in the comments here. I would love to visit all of you as well!

A First PROPER DragonCon Post

I know. I wrote about it yesterday, but that was just a segue into trying to trick you people into reading my Project Mayhem post. Not that you should need to be tricked, it's an awesome blog.

I only say tricked because I was chomping at the bit to post these photos, but I couldn't because I'd agreed to cover for a friend, and PM is a FAR more professionally slated blog than this dirty little corner of the World (US) Wide (Thin) Web (Net).

Anyway. Here's a tease. This is the worst photo my shitty camera captured at the Dragon-Non-Con (maybe):


Admittedly, this photo does have one thing going for it: The LOVELY Cole Gibsen taking up the spotlight. Also, it has an excuse: My oldest, Kylie, hit the button on my POS camera.

To be noted: That's my littlest, Madison, on my right (your left) with the panda hat/robe/hakama, and that's Kylie's BFF, Michaela, on my left (your right). I have no idea what I'm looking at, but I promise it's not a passing Princess Leia's cleavage. At least not at this particular moment.

One more thing: God I'm a huge human being. I know the evidence from my meeting with Joe may have suggested otherwise, but it was obviously false.

NOTE TO SELF: Don't write posts the night before anymore. You were probably drunk.

Okay, now it's morning, so hopefully I'll leave all that surliness and poor humor behind. Here's a better picture of a similar situation:


I don't know what has Madison grinning so broadly, but at least it's obvious she's having a blast.

Here's one I took:


Boy, my camera sucks. Oh well. You probably can't tell, but Kylie is wearing her cat eye/demon eye colored contacts. That was her way of dressing up. You can see what I'm talking about in this post.

That's it for photos for today. I'll share some of the awesome costumes with you guys tomorrow and maybe Thursday.

I talked a little bit more about Cole, what a great friend she is, and how nice it was to meet her in my Project Mayhem post yesterday, and I linked you to all her important stuff, but there was one more thing I forgot to mention that I wanted you guys to read, if you have time.

I used to do these successful query letter guest posts on my blog when I was first getting started, and Cole was one of my very first guests. You can read that post, here: KATANA.

WriteOnCon

I don't have time to write much today and since my long ass posts this week scared many of you away I won't force it. I need to finish up Stephanie's guest post for tomorrow so make sure to come back for that.

In the meantime all I will point out today is that WriteOnCon registration has begun. If you're interested in a free online Writing Conference with several awesome Published Authors and Industry Professionals please visit WriteOnCon.com and register today!
