The Sisterhood Award, The Sunshine Award, and #amwriting

A very dear woman,  and fellow nanoist, Kim Koning of Dragonfly Scrolls  has awarded The Sisterhood Award,

                                                                                                                  and The Sunshine Award to me and some other wonderful ladies.

 These are my very first awards.  I think it's the sweetest thing ever.  Thank you so much Kim!  I will always cherish these.  Here is her Smiles and Shout-Outs to Her Cyberspace Sisterhood  post.


I also have started using twitter as you know and found this site that also keeps you motivated to write.. #amwriting  you just put the hashtag # with the words amwriting and you get the tweets of everyone who is writing at the moment.  It's nice :) and i am still with my Nano Warriors :) but we are now renamed to Warrior Chat on facebook.  Come join us, we'd love to have you. So off i go to work on Nancy Lamb's book :)

 Have a great day everyone! 

Still working on Nancy Lamb's book

Yes, i'm still reading and doing the reading exercises within the book.  I've been stuck at one book called The Light In The Forest by Conrad Richter  so far i can't find it, so will skip this one for now and go on to the next chapter... Eleven, Scenes. 


  I'm really loving her book and learning a lot.  Nancy Lamb makes you think.  She Is bringing me to new heights in my thinking and writing.  I thought, at first, that i wouldn't like all this extra reading homework within her book, but it really does help to be the sleuth answering her questions and finding the structures, etc that she's mentioned.  I get to the point that i can't wait to get back to her book while reading the others lol

Today now, a friend on my wonderful warrior's group on facebook sent a link to a great site with a lot of information and help... Robin L. LaFevers   She is a writer of a series of books that i have yet to buy, but am definitely going too... It's her Theodosia Series...  Here's the website to buy it.  Looks great!


  After doing some reading on her site and writing out her Characterization Worksheet,   I found on facebook that a friend from my Warrior Chat group had a website..Robert Sloan.  He's a wonderful artist and writer.  I love his site, inspiring and full of tons of information and step by step oil pastel paintings.   You can also find him on facebook and twitter.  You'll love him :)


  After Nancy Lamb's book, I'll be working with my novel by using Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook by Donald Maass

I'm excited to work with it.  I've also had Rilla's Ramblings critiqued and am so wanting to work on it, but Nancy Lamb comes first :) I'm up for the challenge! Something i love to do :) 

Have a great day, everyone.  

Enjoy this beautiful winter season.
