RSS Winter Writing Festival

Posted on by

The Ruby Sisters are hosting a writing festival for those of us that want to get a jumpstart on the writing goal for the new year. Big pluses: You get to set your own goals, chat challenges, shiny prizes, and this one doesn’t happen over a major holiday.

It starts on January 10, but you can register now at the Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood Winter Writing Festival blog and set your daily goal. Mine is to write 10 pages a day as I’m Fast Drafting this next novel.  Be pretty cool to have a novel done by February…

Odds and ends – First Day of HH Calendar

Just a post to list some guest blogs and other interesting tidbits:

Carrie Lofty of Unusual Historicals has written a very well-thought out article about what sort of elements authors of unusual historical romances have to consider when targeting their stories for a mass market audience. She’s interviewed editors and agents as well as authors (myself included!) and put together a succinct and comprehensive look into the balancing act of writing unusual settings.Walking the Tightrope by Carrie Lofty

I’m blogging today at the Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood about “Writing with a Cinematic Eye” where I try to describe how I re-think scenes and translate them from a cinematic view to words on the page.

And last, but not least. December is here! It’s the first day of the Harlequin Historical Advent Calendar celebration! Visit Lynna Banning to kick off the event. Each day you participate will enter you in a mini-giveaway for that author as well as the Grand Prize giveaway – a Kindle 3G. (I loves my Kindle. I really, really do.) Come back here on Dec. 4 (Saturday) for my contribution.

Miss a day? Don’t worry. You can go back and still complete the activity for an extra chance to win. 22 days — 22 authors.
