A few weeks ago, Angela and Becca from The Bookshelf Muse were kind enough to add me to their esteemed list of Writing Heroes. I was amazed, honored, and thankful. How awesome and generous is that?
Their blog is a mandatory stop when I'm working through revisions. I have plenty of (see Bookshelf Muse) notes in my first draft, and on draft two, I refer to their resources as I add more details to my manuscripts.
The Shame-faced Apology
Angela and Becca generously gave me a 1,000-word critique, and I'd love to give it away to one lucky follower. I'm so sorry I didn't do this sooner! *hangs head* It wasn't until I saw this post by Janice Hardy (amazing blog, btw) that I realized I hadn't blogged about the Writing Heroes nod, and the giveaway.
The Group Hug
We are all SO lucky to be a part of this amazing, supportive, rockin' writing community. I love how we bounce ideas around, share what we've learned, encourage each other, and cheer each other on. So brace yourself...I'm including you in a ginormous virtual group hug.
The Critique Giveaway
If you'd love a 1,000-word critique by the awesome ladies at The Bookshelf Muse, all you need to do is let me know in the comments. What a golden opportunity! The deadline is February 16, at midnight EST.
If you haven't visited the Writing Heroes page yet, I highly encourage you to do so. Each of these bloggers is a huge asset to the writing community.
BIG thanks to Becca and Angela for their kindness, and another BIG thanks to you for stopping by my blog. **group hug**
A 1,000-word critique sounds wonderful, Julie. Count me in. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteWhat a totally cool honor for you, Julie! But am I at all surprised? Heck no!! I keep a list of blog topics that I consider writing about and one of them is: "Who are my writing mentors?" And you are one of my 3 mentors!
