Flashy Lady? Me!

Guess what???

I am gonna be the newest Flashy Lady over at Flashy Fiction. Yep. That's right! The Monday Woman!

An explanation...

First - if you haven't checked out this website, you should. Every day, a different member of the Classy Lassie 7 posts a prompt. Maybe a photo, a quote, some artwork or even just an interesting line. The idea is to write a short piece of fiction (flash fiction) which has been inspired by the prompt. It's fun and a great exercise for writing, too - and the flash fiction writers there are talented, supportive and utterly cool!

Anyway...

Due to some personal circumstances, one of the original 7 had to step down after this week.

I am really sorry things came about in such a way - and I hope that circumstances change for the better for this very Flashy Lady. My thoughts are with her and her family.

But...

They needed a new seventh person. I'm it.








..so check it out! And please stop by on Monday to see what I post as prompt. And write!

Wow!

I am a semi-finalist in the Six Sentences Final Sentence Comtest! Please visit Six Sentences and vote! If you look in the first paragraph on the page, you'll find the hyperlink which will take you to the voting grid. I am in the third group, and you can find my entry listed by my nom de plume of (what else?) '1ightverse.'

Thanks!

...and another great writing prompt site...

This one's short, sweet and to the point! Six Sentences. That's it. You have to say all there is to say in 6!

A fantastic writing prompt site...

From a post on Twitter this AM, I discovered a really fantastic writing prompt site. I highly recommend this.

Flashy Fiction.

It's good and it's fun!

Getting a Self-Published Book into a Brick-n-Mortar...

Chicklet Books, in the Princeton Shopping Center (in Princeton, of course!) just accepted Mugging for the Camera! It's a book of offbeat, quirky, humorous poetry - and it's on the shelves in their 'Local Author' section.

If anyone is in the area, please check it out! Thanks!

...and next week is Read An E-Book Week!

Definitely worthwhile, if I do say so myself!

Read An E-Book!

(and if you want a suggestion for a really good e-book, please visit Lilley Press and check out my new e-book, Penny Wishes.)

Thanks!

No blog tomorrow because I'm going to be working on The Ceramic Clock, my newest middle grade/young adult novel. I need to get the next chapter ready for my intrepid critique group!

It's Small Press Month!

March is Small Press Month!

Check out Small Press Month '09!

Why?

Because there are a whole lot of wonderful, awesome, fantastic books by some amazing talents which are published by small presses. My new book, Penny Wishes, was published by Lilley Press, which is just one of the many brilliant small press publishers out there.

Thank you!
