Summer Kindle Giveaway!!

Beach (My secret word)
Welcome to my post for the Summer Kindle Giveaway! So, I
literally tortured myself for days about what I should post. We were given free
reign...which for me, could end badly.
At first I thought, why not do an excerpt from Hidden Falls,
which is coming soooo very soon! But then I thought about it...why not show
something else?
So, that’s what I decided to do. I wanted to share the blurb for
Burn Out with everyone! The cover for this book will be revealed in early July,
but for now, I wanted to share it with ya’ll. So...here goes!
If you like what you see, leave me a comment! Heck, even if you
don’t, leave me a comment. I love comments! Oops, off topic again. Let’s get to
it!
Burn Out~ Coming August 2013
Pyromaniac. Murderer. Burn out.
Ten years ago Delia’s life went up in smoke. Literally.
After a decade of hiding, she is forced back into the world.
With only her wits to guide her, she must now figure out how to
live in a town that knows her only as a murderer.
Her family is gone. The people all fear her. She has nothing
holding her in Sunny Shores...until she meets Liam.
He’s heard the stories. He knows he should stay away from her,
but he’s drawn to her like a moth to a flame.
Life seems to be looking up for them...until her past comes back
like a bitch slap to the face.
Thanks for stopping by!
Here...enjoy some of the music that has been a part of writing Burn Out! Hope
you enjoy!

YouTube: Finding fun videos on writing!
Videos on Writing: FUN! (And educational!)
For class this week, we were given the assignment of
finding videos on YouTube that focused on writing or writers. I hit the gold
mine, let me tell you!
While I already knew about UtopYaCon, I had never heard
of another conference called WriteOnCon. This conference has educational videos
(that I’m guessing were presented at the conference) all over YouTube. Easy
access!
There are many, many
different types of videos on there. There are some from writers
on...well...writing. Then there are others that focus on the publishing aspect
of writing. There were dozens on there! More than I could actually watch in one
sitting. (P.S.~ I’ll be watching more sporadically now that I know they’re
there)
So, let’s begin with the first one that I came across.
It’s entitled Romance in YA by Lisa
Schroeder.
This video was so much fun! This successful author
gives sage advice on all things YA Romance. While the advice she gives should
be common knowledge, there are many times that it’s not. Hey, we’re all human.
We will all make mistakes during our journey through the writing world. Since
my first book was a Young Adult Romance, I was thrilled when I came across this
video.
I learned a lot
just from her advice. Plus, there are cupcakes. Yes, those sweet, delicious
treats that are so irresistible...sorry, started drooling. She gives great
advice, which I will post here, just in case you don’t want to watch the video.
C= Connection
of some kind
U= Unattractive
is okay!
P= Perfect
is not okay!
C= Their interests complement
each other
A= They admire
desirable traits in the other.
K= Keep
it believable & real
E= Encompass
a wide range of emotions
She goes into more details as she produces each of
these lessons, so if it sounds like something that might interest you, by all
means, please watch the video. Personally, I found it very enjoyable. And
informative. And...it made me want a cupcake...
Okay, I was only supposed to pick one video, but I wanted to put another one up as well. This one is
by Beth Revis, a NYT Bestselling author.
This is the one that really touched me. It’s about failure... and the
lack thereof when it comes to writing. Watch it. Learn it. Embrace it.
If you are having your doubts about writing, are worried
about never making it “big,” or are just scared to death of putting yourself
out there, this is the video for you. It’s a pick-me-up and will give you that
boost that you need to keep going. I hope you enjoy!
