I Finished It!

I finished Make That Man Mine about an hour ago and loved it.
I'm not familiar with erotica reads but I truly enjoyed this.
New. Fresh. And it worked for me.
I laughed, giggled like a school girl and wanted to attempt my come-hither eyes on DH; poor man. lol
I was totally engrossed in her imagination of the New Zealand mythology, it was refreshing.
Loved the immediate chemistry between them and especially loved that she was presented like a real woman. A woman with curves-voluptuous all over; well that's how I describe myself. hehe.
All in all, I'm going to have to buy more of Shell's work.
Thanks sweety for the entertaining day.
For those who haven't read it yet- Do so!
Now I'm inspired to perfect my own ms.

Shelley Munro: Make That Man Mine.

Well, you've probably heard I won a copy of Shell's new book: Make That Man Mine, through Christina Phillips' blog.

Well I just received it and I'll let you all know how I went; I'm sure it'll be fantabulous of course.

I read her excerpt; which you can too at the end of her interview by Christina- link on the side of my blog page, and I ginned the whole time.

Her characters have great chemistry and humour; I loved it.

Any way, I'm off to have a read.

See you all next time and happy writing.

Ally Blake

I've been surfing the blogs today and was directed to Ally Blake's Writing Tips.
I wanted to share the article with everyone who dreams of being published by HQN because it's extremely helpful.
I remember trying to breakdown my ms to figure which line it would fit into and i had gotten it wrong, which meant i waisted my time and resources and the editors of HQN.
Ally has broken it down for dummies like me and I sure wish it was around when I first sent my ms out.
I hope it's as helpful for someone else as it was to me.
Thanks Ally.

HQN E-PITCH.

How lucky are we? Answer- Extremely!!!

Thank You, RWA & HQN.

Who else asked to pitch to HQN at the conference and get to e-pitch instead?

I'm soooo excited because I just sent my pitch and first chapter last night and can't wait to get the feedback.

I have to thank Sandie and Diane for the 50k in 30day challenge last year. This was the push off for this ms, it's unfortunate I couldn't sign up again this year, but I had loads to do.

I wish everyone luck for this years challenge, you'll love it.

I can't wait to meet so many of you finally at the bris conf; heck, I can't believe I'm going! Yah!!!!

Anyway, I'm totally motivated at the moment and decided to revamp my first ms.

'Ooohhh', I hear you say. I know, it's a task. But it's also really interesting to see how much you've grown as a writer.

I let you know how it goes.

Happy Writing, all.

RWA Confrence Booking

I'M GOING FOR SURE!
Yay! I have booked my flight, which FYI, was quite expensive. But after weighing up the options, it was the lesser of two evils.
I have booked my room and paid for my conference booking- I'm sending it tomorrow.
So, it's set.
I have been sooooo busy with my promotion and trying to finish this ms so I can pitch.
That being said, I'm off for now but before I go I want to know who is going.
I'm nervous, conference virgin and all and would love to hear from who ever is going so I know who to look out for.
Look forward to hearing from ya's.

To Be, Or Not To Be...

No, I'm not quoting Shakespeare. I'm talking about conference time.
Uh-huh, that's right people. It's fast approaching and DH said I can go.
What's the catch I hear You ask.
All I need to do is find the moola to go, in which, I believe is possible.
The early bird price is until may, but I think I can do it.
I'm sooo excited and yet sooo very nervous.
Arabian Nights is the theme this year, yikes. But I know Suz will look fab though.
I've been kick'n A in my writing and touch wood, I'm hoping I will have it done by Conference time.
Now all that being said, in case something goes bad at my end and I cant go, is there going to be a Claytons this year?
I hope so, it was helpful and I loved 'meeting' other writers and it was helpful.
While I'm on the subject of helpful, I love listening to music.
Different types give me inspiration. Depending on what scene I'm writing is what music I listen to, same goes for my plotting.
What do you do? Does music effect you in the same way?
I tried to upload one of my favourite pieces but I couldn't. I will however give you a link on the side to his music. I love him. You may also recognise him from Harry Potter and Twilight saga as an actor. He's a gifted fella, isn't he.
Happy Writing and listening.

P.S, are you going to the bris conference?

Oh, how naughty I have been.

You say, 'no, not Kerri.' But alas, yes me. for two weeks i have neglected my beloved ms, and not even for being a good wife and mother.
In fact, someone could have called DOCS this week. but let me start from the beginning- intrigued aren't you.
So, week one i was still a slave to facebook. But don't worry, there's no need for a an intervention, i now have control. Also facebook can't keep you occupied every spare moment, but the new addiction I has found took over my life in week two.
My house is a pig pen that I'm trying to now sort out, washing has mounted up and the ironing is scary, so what phenomenon took over me for seven days....
TWILIGHT saga by Stephanie Meyer.
yes i read the whole series in seven days, no scratch that. If i had a whole seven days to read it would have been done in two. Instead they were read in every spare minute/second of my time. i would stay up late even though i had an interview with my boss the next morning. i would be running late just to get in a couple of pages in. i would get to work ten minutes earlier to sit in my car instead of socialising in the lunch room with my work pals.
I was addicted to life of Bella and Edward.
Now if any of you are aware of this story and think its just for the teenagers- you are dearly wrong. This saga is for any true romantic.
yes, Bella is only seventeen when this all starts, as is Edward, but she is an old soul and he has been around since the war.
Oh their love is intense and i fell for the gentleman-Edward.
I have never read a paranormal, but if this is what it would be like well they are my new fav.

If you haven't read Twilight, do so. you are missing out on something special.
I only just finished the last one a couple of hours ago and I feel a little lost.
My kids and hubby look the same, I have folded my washing and tidied my house to a point i could live with until tomorrow, and i can finally get to my ms.
But i say these things with a heavy heart, i miss those characters and want more.
I don't think she will write a continuance but i wish she would.
Stephanie Meyer is a gifted writer, simple enough for the youthful to read and yet brilliantly imaginative and captivating.
10 out of 10. READ IT! i haven't even seen the movie yet.
got to go, I'm inspired to write.
happy writing
