I'm sure most of you know how this works. After you link up to your page, please leave a comment in the form and as well a link to your page there, just in case the first is broken (for whatever reason).
I stated in an earlier post that I might be doing a give away for my first blogfest, but I had to back out on that option. Funds are lacking currently...
So, the only thing I'm asking of participants is to make sure the badge is in your sidebar or in a post, and tweet about the blogfest if you can. Any support I can get for my first fest would be greatly appreciated. For those who don't have it, here is the badge. You can re-size it to your liking.
Thanks and see you all on October 11th, right here, for the Hook, Line & Sinker Blogfest!
Just to remind you, the theme of the blogfest is such: Please post a 1000 word (a few over is okay) sample of your hook. Preferably, chop it right out from the opening of your manuscript. I'd like to see the range of openings various writers have to grab attention. Can you establish a great character relationship in just those few words? How about showing the world? Whatever your hook is, post it for the fest and we'll do the little jig around it (and give you comments along the way).
Peace and Writing Love!

I just edited the post to fit the writing prompt. I did state it in an earlier post, but forgot to do so here. It's now posted near the bottom of this entry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award, too!
I'll create a post about this closer to the date. I know there's a couple other blogfests still in September.
ReplyDeleteHi Elena,
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to sign up, too. Also, what fests are left in September?
Waiting worked out well for me. I'm #11, and the blogfest is on the 11th, which so happens to be my birthday.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to study the beginning of my novel and see if I did well with the hook. I'm thinking it came a few pages in.
I'm not good at analyzing my own novel.

ReplyDeleteI've been so busy promoting my blogfest that I forgot to sign up for yours. Glad I made it in enough time to join in on the fun! :D
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI think I've probably missed the linky time out. I signed up but it's not showing my name. :(
@Francine: yours showed up. See you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying my best to create a new post, but something is wrong with Blogger! Will keep trying, though!
ReplyDeleteHad to use the old school editor, but I finally got it posted!
ReplyDeletehmm..not sure if I had commented to this..I swear as a writer I am the WORST at reading instructions lol as I recall now, the rules were to post a link and then leave a comment..alas, hours later, I am leaving one..
