DELIGHTful
Sorry I haven't been around- my Internet connection has been acting up and I've been going through email withdrawal!
The mailman dropped off a box of books this afternoon, all the way from Sydney! So, I have 18 copies of the Australian edition of my last Blaze, AFTERNOON DELIGHT to give away.If you'd like one, all you have to do is answer a question. I'm in the mood to boost my self-confidence and that of the people around me. So in the comments, tell me something good/ positive about your writing or about yourself as a writer (if you're a reader just anything you're proud of accomplishing or creating).
Next Tuesday, Oct 17, I'll choose winners at random from the comment posts, but in the meantime, let's get a conversation going: I'm really good at creating realistic dialogue in my stories and I'm proud of a recent wip that was in a new-to-me genre. What about you?

I think my work is very clean from a grammar/spelling perspective--I really only have say, half a dozen errors over, say 10k words, and I catch them before I send it to anybody to read. I think that and voice are my strengths.
Though with regards to pieces of writing, I think what I'm most proud of is that I have managed to plot out my NaNoWriMo WIP. I'm a pantzer who wants to become a plotter you see. LOL!
I like that I'm a speedy writer. I can churn out 100k words in under 6 weeks. Admittedly, I then spend weeks editing it, but that first draft is always a rush.
I also really love my voice & dialogue. I try really hard to make them fresh and realistic and think I succeed pretty well.
Wow, that was kind of an ego fest for me. :)
I'm not a writer but reader. My husband and I read quite a bit and read to our children all the time when they were younger. Then the teenage years hit and reading became a school chore but I am so happy that my daughter is voluntarily reading now.
Another reader here. I returned a lost cellphone to its owner today and I really feel good about that.
I am proud to be teaching my daughter to read along with her wonderful teacher. I want my children to grow up having that same joy of reading that I do.
