#1lineWed

If you follow me on twitter, then you know I’m a huge fan of #1lineWed.

Every Wednesday, the Kiss of Death Chapter of the Romance Writer’s of America posts a theme. To participate, you find a line from your current work in progress and tweet that line with the hashtag.

It’s a really fun exercise. Week after week, some great one-liners are posted. I’ve found that when I’m writing a first draft, I now keep it in mind to work as much of a bang into one sentence as possible.

The rules are simple, follow that week’s theme and DON’T include purchase links in your tweet. The whole point is to post from something you’re working on (and maybe get some feedback about the line!). You don’t have to be a member of either the Kiss of Death chapter or Romance Writer’s of America to participate.

So come on over and maybe you’ll find your new favorite author.

Library Lovers Month

Did you know you can find a holiday (either a celebratory day or month) for nearly every thing?

Check out this fun link.

I love my local library. They have events for kids (of all ages) and adults. This past summer, my oldest son had a blast completing the reading challenge. Not only did he read a ton of books (although, come on, with an author for a Mom, we read a lot always), but he also explored the library’s different offerings: puppet theater, story times, hands-on museum day, movies, ipads, and on and on.

We had a great time and I love that the two of us can spend an afternoon happily hanging out at our library. Now we just have to convince the youngest… My library also has outreach for authors and aspiring writers. Crossing my fingers (well, doing a bit more than that) that this year I can get one of my books on their shelves.

So…get out and discover a new book at your local library this month!
