Critiques 4 U

halloween-1743227_1920Well, folks, in case you hadn’t noticed, it’s October. For me, that means ordering Halloween costumes, enjoying the leaves changing color, and baking all the pumpkin stuff.  On the blogging front, Ange and I kicked off our Resident Writing Coach program last week with our first post, which was a humdinger from April Bradley, and the next one will be out next week. Since there was a gap in our calendar, I figured it was a good time for…

CRITIQUES 4 U!

~~CONTEST IS CLOSED!~~

    The Emotion Thesaurus is my go-to whenever I’m stuck with emotions–and for whatever reason, emotions are one of the hardest things for me to write. The Motivation Thesaurus sounds like something else I need.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Hi there. I’m so impressed by all that you offer. Thank you!

    My earlier comment doesn’t seem to have gone through, so I’m posting it again … my apologies if it then shows up twice.

    I’m writing a mystery / suspense short story. Thanks Becca for doing this.

    My email is in rbarnes7557 at gmail.

    What a generous offer. How do you find the time with everything else you do? I’m impressed. I love what one of the commenters called her novel or her manuscript: she referred to her WIP as her story-embryo. Perfect word choice, very vivid. I bet she’a a fantastic author. So, yes, please put my name in the hat. I would be honored to receive a critique from you.

    Psychological Thriller/Domestic Noir

    I always appreciate more critiques, so this is a nice opportunity. First pages, so critical. I have a WordPress account and I blog at writenowjbw, so I’m sure you can contact me there. I even have a contact page set up. Thanks!

    What a terrific, first-class opportunity!! The two of you really “pay it forward!”

    Mine is a short story, in the mystery / suspense genre. I can be found at rbarnes7557 waaay over there at gmail. (or was that too subtle? LOL)

  22. Carol A Malone says

    Thank you for the opportunity. This is very generous of you. I can’t wait for your motivation thesaurus. It’s hard for me to write my characters’ motivation when I suffer from my own lack. You have given me a treasure trove from which to dig. Thank you.
