2014 #PitchWars Contestant Hop--Now it's YOUR turn!!

Hi Kids!

Have we dotted our t's, crossed our i's and hit send on our final mentor pitches? Are you wondering what to do with yourself between now and the big announcement other than gnawing your fingernails down to the beds?

Well, you can use your time to craft your own Pitch Wars bio, of course.

FIRST AND FOREMOST THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL PITCHWARS EVENT AND IS NO WAY REQUIRED.

But last year people had a blast sending links to Mentee Bios posted on your blog and they are TOO FULL OF WIN not to share in an organized way for those of us who may be just a smiiiiidge OCD. So here's your chance. And you never know which mentors might be watching!

1. Please enter your name (as you identify yourself in your #PitchWars queries) and blog info linking directly to your PitchWars mentee bio in the linky below. There's no guarantee that the mentors will see them but some of us will be scoping you out online.

2. In your mentee bio, please link back to this post (I have will have more bloggish things going on this week, so please link directly to this post).

3. It would also be nice if you would comment on people's posts, cheer each other on, and keep the energy jumping and positive while we slush our way through your lovely words. 

4. Support your fellow writers by following each other's blogs and connecting on twitter!

And special thanks to mentee contender Christopher Keelty (@keeltyc) who started this whole ball of fun!

What's Up, Wednesday for October 16, 2013

What's Up Wednesday is a weekly meme brought to you by Jaime Morrow and Erin Funk. Check out the links to see what other authors are up to.

Hi kids! It's been a while. What's up with YOU this week??

WHAT I'M READING
I just finished reading SOUL TAKEN by Katlyn Duncan for the upcoming book tour for Book 2 SOUL POSSESSED, which I'm participating in at the beginning of next month. An out of the box YA Paranormal that I really enjoyed! Review coming soon. For fun I just started Sarah Ocklar's TWENTY BOY SUMMER which OMG the hook? Amazeballs and heartbreaking. I'm also re-reading THE GUARDIANS by T.M. Franklin because when I first got the ARC I devoured it in about four hours because I had to know what happened! But I want to go back and re-read for my review for her tour next month.


WHAT I'M WRITING
I'm doing detailed chapter outlines for my NaNo project, which I am SUPER excited about. I'm cheating a little and doing a couple sample chapters before November, but only because my agent is making me. ;P My hope is to knock out all 80k during November. Wish me luck LOL!


WHAT INSPIRES ME
My amazing critique community Scribophile inspires me always, but especially this week. I called in a favor and they responded with enthusiasm and support. If you're like me and you prefer an online writing group to a live one or if you (also like me) haven't found a live writing group close to home that is exactly what you're looking for, you should check Scrib out. (And you can find me on there, too!)


WHAT ELSE I'M UP TO
Gearing up to judge/host Trick or Treat with Agents next week! The entry window is on Tuesday, October 22nd from 9AM-9PM, so if you are actively looking for an agent for your MG, YA, NA, or A manuscript, check out the deets HERE. Don't you just love my costume??

Just kidding...sorta. 

Otherwise I am busting my butt at the day job and taking on the majority of Mommy duties as hubby recovers from an impromptu gall bladder removal experience last week.



More importantly what are YOU guys up to! It's been forever since I participated in this hop and I'm glad to be back on the wagon!

XOXO
