Blogs, Blogs and More Blogs

One of the things I enjoy doing on the internet is reading blogs. It’s no wonder I finally decided to start my own blog back in Oct. 2008, and I have been having fun posting my own blogs ever since. Now I want to share some of my favorites blog sites with you. Some are serious, some informative and others are just too funny. I hope you visit a few of these and read the posts that these clever people have written.

http://cityencounters.blogspot.com/
(One of my very favorites. About a girl who lives in New York and she tells of her off the wall experiences she has on the subway and the streets of New York.)

http://www.deadlinedames.com/
(Several women in the publishing industry share this one, including my new Twitter friend Toni Andrews, and they aren’t afraid to use four letter words.)

http://queryshark.blogspot.com/
(This is agent, Janet Reid, who takes writers query letters and picks them apart without any holding back. Only brave writers submit their queries to this one.)

(This is Janet’s normal agent blog, but she is still pretty vicious to a few unsuspecting writers. Her insight to the publishing world is interesting.)

http://editorialass.blogspot.com/
(An editorial assistant that seems to have a lot to say, and it’s not always about publishing.)

I will intend to share more sites with you in the future, but these should entertain you for a while. Happy reading!

Drew Dawson Davis Fan

Hello everyone, I know I've told you all that I'm taking a break from Twitter, Facebook and blogging to put focus on finishing book #2 and #3, but I have to share with you another web gem. I stumbled upon a talented singer on YouTube one evening and his voice just blew me away. His name is Drew Dawson Davis . I was searching for music to help me feel one of the characters in my book, so I was looking for a particular song which just happened to be Garth Brook's Shameless. I know, I know, ew! It's country music. Whatever. :P Intrigued, I began checking out each of his videos and now I have listened to each of his posted videos repeatedly. They have become a musical muse for working on. If you get a chance, check him out (and no, not all of his music is country). Here is a link to Drew Dawson Davis "Shameless" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUdIbdb_hA0 Ciao for now!

Web Gems

I love to find fun websites on the internet. Here are two sites I found this week. This first one is hilarious and someone could spend hours just reading through the funny, interesting, weird, disgusting, and sometimes “down right wtf were they thinking” text. This website is Txts Frm Lst Nght (Text From Last Night). Now I know we all have sent a text to someone that once we hit the “send” button we wished there was a “retrieve” button. This website showcases text messages sent that I am sure the sender wished they would not have sent. Lucky for us, the gracious recipient of the text message thought that the world would be a better place if they shared it with everyone. Not only does it exhibit the uncomfortable display of bad spelling, compromising situations and/or embarrassing circumstances, but you the reader also get a chance to reply and grade the text message. Talk about adding insult to injury, but it’s all in fun and (I hope) no one gets hurt. If you feel venturous here is the

Short Story: Savior

Was it the blacktop road that made the night seem so dark or was it just her mood? Maybe it was the fact that she had been driving for hours and she was getting tired. Christine didn’t know which, but she did know that the further she drove away from her hometown, the darker her mood became. She didn’t want to move, but her employer hadn’t given her a choice…or maybe he actually did. The choices were to transfer or find another job, but quitting was not an option Christine could afford, so she boxed up her life and left her family and friends behind. Christine looked at the clock on her dash for the thousandth time and sighed impatiently. “Three hours to go,” she mumbled to herself. Tired of listening to the same CD for the last few hours she switched the CD player to radio, but static was all she heard coming out of the speakers. Her favorite radio station was gone. She knew it wouldn’t reach this far out. It was just another reminder of all that was familiar to her was being left
