I don't usually blog on Thursday, but today I'm going to pump The First 250 Word BLOGFEST which happens on Saturday. This is your opportunity to fine tune those first 250 words and get it out there. And it's a fun way to meet new people. Feel free to Share, RT, etc.
I've got my new 250 words ready--how about you?
I'm author ELLE STRAUSS and welcome to my website!
I write fun, lower Young Adult (teen) fiction to do with whimsical things like time-travel, fairies and merfolk.
When my serious side peeks out, she's called LEE STRAUSS. She likes to write upper YA about real things that have happened in the past, or made up things that could quite possibly happen in the future.
This blog is about books, mine and other fab authors', but occasionally I'll share about other topics.
Thanks for dropping by!

I'm still trying to pump out 250 words a day for Nick's Novel Push Initiative over at Five Rings. I'm going to pass on this one, but thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did you have a summer at all in the Okanagan? I'm in sothern Alberta, and it seemed to pass right over us this year.
I'm in. After giving my MS. one more sound thrashing, I think it's where in needs to be. I'll be pitching this book at a conference the same day.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! This blogfest forced me to really look at what I had in that 250. I realized that other than the first paragraph, it was NOT what I wanted to represent my WIP! Whoa! So I edited. A LOT. I ended up reducing the first 8 pages down to 3! THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteErica - That's great! Am I going to get to read it on Saturday?
ReplyDeleteI may come back and do this on Saturday. I'm partway through my WIP, and I'm pretty happy with the beginning.
ReplyDeleteTheresa - I look forward to reading!
