Blogfests Galore - Get in on the Action!

A few days ago blogfests were thin on the ground - now look what's happened!

Whatever, it's time to party so get signing up and show us what you're made of as writers.

Cast your writing worries aside, let down your hair and have some fun. 



See side bar for list of blogfests.

Writing "Black Moments" = reader impact and emotional pull!



Writing Black Moments can test one's ability in making it feel real to a reader. Yet it's a golden opportunity to shock, and to set precedence for emotional pull and empathy toward the recipient of bad news. It may cause real tears, a sense of inner despair and, ultimately, reader need to know that something good will come out of what ever has happened.

This week we at Heroines' with Hearts are discussing Black Moments and why we need them in novels!  If you would like to join with us, you're welcome. Please go here.

Bernard Pivot Blogfest

This Blogfest is kindly hosted by the lovely Nicole Ducleroir, and I'm posting it up early because I have serious "editor" revisions to be getting on with tomorrow!

I promise I will get around to everyone entered in this blogfest,
but bear with me if it's a couple of days down the line.  



1) What is your favorite word?  = Velvet (encompasses so many sensual aspects in various forms)

2) What is your least favorite word?  =  F*ck!

3) What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? = Artwork (creatively) Woodland/Birdsong (spiritually) Music (emotionally) 

4) What turns you off?  City environment

5) What is your favorite curse word? = shit!

6) What sound or noise do you love? = Waterfall

7) What sound or noise do you hate?  = Traffic

8) What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? =  Artist

9) What profession would you not like to do?  = Nurse (puke & crap bowls would only render up more puke!) 

10) If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? = my name (correct) or I'd suspect I'd either caught the wrong Heaven Express  or should have been given a ticket for the "Hellraiser Club Metro Line".
