NaNoing? Meeting Goals? Spinning Wheels?

Hello to my blogging buddies, plus the crazy adventurous folks who are also doing NaNo. 

NaNo has worked well for me as I’ve got three novels out of it so far that are among my best, with some addition and editing, of course. This year, I took a short story that was shortlisted in the 2009 Small Axe Literary Competition and decided to write a novel based on that. Not sure how to categorize it though, as the narrator is a thirty-odd year old woman looking back at her childhood, in which her father discards the family. I take the reader from the time Georgia is eight years old up to adulthood. 

Should Writers Do Book Reviews? See Fabulosity Reads!

A warm Jamaican hello to those of you who might have landed here from Rach’s Third Platform Building Crusade. Feel free to look around and comment. I’ve noticed that a few people have followed me but their little icon doesn’t lead back to their profile. When that happens, I have to play detective and Google names to see if they lead to a blog. Take a second and make sure that in your blogger profile you have a connection to your blog or web page. It’ll make things soooooo much easier for those who want to follow you back. 

Anyhoo, today I’m over at Fabulosity Reads with my South African blogger pal, Wendy. We're discussing my thoughts on whether there's a conflict of interest with writers reviewing books. Feel free to join the conversation. 

Before you leave, Kelley Smith is graciously giving away a copy of her book Glittering Ashes. Click here to go to that giveaway. The drawing is tomorrow! 

Have a great day!

Rachael Harrie's Platform Building Campaign

I have a post going up later, which is an interview and giveaway with Kelley Smith, author of Glittering Ashes, however, I wanted to remind you all  about Rachael Harrie's Platform Building Campaign. 

If you're interested in building links with other like-minded writers/bloggers, you should go over there tomorrow and sign up for the next Campaign.  Registration closes on August 31 and then the fun begins.

Go here to see what it's all about, but I can tell you that I met a LOT of cool bloggers and enjoyed participating in the flash fiction challenges during the last campaign.
