Blogging
- Lynda R. Young did a brilliant post about balancing your social network time. Yikes! I think she's onto me!
- I also did a guest post over at Mia Hayson's blog about Online Distractions for a Writer. If you haven't visited Mia's blog, you are missing out. She is a fan of graphical things, and jam and toast.
- Marji Laine did this helpful post on how to write the (dreaded) synopsis.
- 13 Ways to Impress an Agent? Super agent, Rachelle Gardner tells all.
- Alison Can Read finds the positive in Twilight copy cats.
- This post about Facebook made me laugh. I promise you will love it.
Book News
- Jessica Therrien's book, Oppression, came out this week. I'm currently reading it and loving it so far!
- The prequel to Jennifer L. Armentrout's popular Lux series is out! Shadows was an amazing read and I think I am falling more and more in love with Jennifer's characters.
- Have you seen these book covers? How gorgeous are they?

In Komal World
- I have read so many amazing entries for the first challenge of the Writers' Platform-Building Campaign. Seriously, I feel so lucky to have met such great writers. Each piece was so different and unique - I had a great time reading them!
- I've finished doing an interview with the lovely J.J. Bonds, author of Crossroads. That interview will be up on Tuesday.
- I'm currently working on revisions for my novel, Runaway Mortal. Revisions are hard! I'm also starting the first draft of the second book in the trilogy, Broken Angel. Second books are also hard!
- Yesterday I started reading Oppression by Jessica Therrien. It's got me completely hooked and the only problem is I can't read fast enough!
How was everyone else's week? Did you watch an awesome movie, visit a great blog, or are you reading something amazing?
Share your thoughts in the comments!
Thanks for highlighting these posts. I follow a few of those people, but I've found that reading all the amazing entries from the campaign has absorbed my blogging time. Not good at multitasking!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree on your sentiments about the campaign. It's great to meet so many people, and get an insight into the stuff they do. I always think that's the best way to get to know writers!
That's very true. The campaign has taken up a lot of my time so I haven't been as diligent about visiting other blogs. However, I've had a great time visiting the campaigners blogs and reading their entries. So much fun!
DeleteThanks for the roundup! I'd seen the cover for Defiance up before and have to agree, it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI hope your revisions go well :)
Thanks, Patricia. I love pretty covers.
