Go Teen Writers by Stephanie Morrill and Jill Williamson ~ GIVEAWAY!

Go Teen Writers by Stephanie Morrill and Jill Williamson ~ GIVEAWAY! The question we hear most from new writers is, "How do I get published?" And the answer is: Respect your dream. Every writer's journey is different, yet as we've reflected on our experiences and those of the writers around us, we've seen time and time again that those who are successful are the ones who had the patience and endurance to stick with this writing thing. They didn't look for shortcuts (at least, not for long), nor did they quit after five, ten, or one hundred rejections. We can't make the process easy for you, but it's our hope that this book will be a tool you can turn to time and time again when you're thinking, "Okay ... what's next?"

Includes tips for: - Getting published - Finding the right agent - Book surgery - Thicker plots - Deeper characters - Richer settings - Weaving in theme - Dealing with people who don't get your writing ENTER GIVEAWAY

Indie Life Wednesday 4/10/13

Life has caught up with me and my passion for writing has to be temporarily diminished.

As a work at home mom, writing is such a wonderful opportunity and when I feel moved to write, I take full advantage. That surely results in lots of late nights while everyone is asleep and I have alone time.

However,sooner or later family, laundry, housework and client work catch up with me and I have to push my writing to the side for a little while. When life dies down just a bit, I have to try and get myself back into author mode which can be challenging. I love to write, so I press forward.

The life of an independent author who is a mommy, wife, entrepreneur, bible study teacher and a Jesus Freak - I love my life!

Review: Dandelions On The Wind by Mona Hodgson

Title - Dandelions On The Wind Author - Mona Hodgson 120 pages Time It Took for to Read - 4 Days Rating - 3.5 out of 5 Stars

Set in the midwest, Mona Hodgson, takes a simple young lady, a simple farm and a simple family through tough times and great loves.

When Maren arrived in the USA she never expected she would become live in nanny and helper to young Gabi and Mrs. Brantenberg. Destiny placed in this simple place where loves abounds and she grows an attachment, but that doesn't stop her heart from wanting to return to her family.

When Wooly unexpectedly returns from war, he surprises them all and is surprised himself to find a live in nanny for a daughter that he does not know.

What I Loved...
This was short and sweet.

What I liked...
Mrs. Brantenberg seemed so real to me and I could picture her clearly as if I may have known her.

Other...
I can't quite pinpoint why this book wasn't a homerun for me. I love romance novels and I think because its a novella I didn't get enough romance out of it. I like being strung along in my romance books.
