Congratulations to the winners. Thank you for visiting, entering, and for your patience!!
Now, I'd started writing a post about plotting drafts, focusing on books in a series or sequels. However, since I completely missed out on my Wistful YA Wednesday post, I decided to keep it light for a Friday and get serious within the next few weeks. So please come back to help me weed through my issues with plotting out the sequel to my YA novel. I'd LUV to hear what you have to say!!
BUT...for today, I'm sharing some cheer. My good writing/blogging friend, Elizabeth Arroyo, will be celebrating her first book birthday next Thursday; I'll be sharing in her celebration next Wednesday. Today, I'd simply like to share my tiny involvement in her release.

| OMGosh...that's me!
I can't tell you what it means to me to have a publisher quote me and have my words endorse a fellow author's story. I am thrilled for Elizabeth, and Sapphire Star Publishing. I meant every word of that quote.
Have you ever been quoted or been asked to give an opinion of a colleague's work (publishing or any other arena) for promotional purposes or as a reference?

Congrats to Elizabeth. I haven't written a sequel yet but I have the general story lines for the sequels to my MG fantasy. I'll come back and give you some suggestions when you post about plotting yours out.
ReplyDeleteSometimes life makes it hard to really dig into the writing and remember everything in life. I often use post-it notes by where I keep my purse to remember things. Like now I have one there to remind my daughter of something.
Ooh, do come back and share! I'm currently finishing up book I of a book II I read last month. I'm reading book I, studying structure, backstory (which she included in book II), and character development. Great exercise.
DeleteCongrats to the winners.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth's book looks awesome. That is cool that you provided a quote. I bet Elizabeth will miss her characters. I know I did when I ended my first YA series. They still haunt me sometimes. :)
I've never been asked, but I have used other author's. It's fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, no worries being absent minded. I think it's that time of year. Like the flu, it's going around.
Awesome! Congrats, Sheri.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners and to Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool Sherri! I've only been mentioned in acknowledgements, but still brought a smile.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, too! It does bring a smile to one's face. :)
DeleteThat is awesome!!! Doesn't it feel good? Even better than one's own name on the cover.
ReplyDeleteI love to acknowledge other writers who've helped me with a manuscript. It's a good way to say thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo cool for both of you! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Elizabeth--looking forward to reading her book!
I definitely like to acknowledge writers who've helped me along the way.
Elizabeth's book sounds wonderful. Love the cover too.
ReplyDeleteShe did a great job with the premise. Looking forward to he sequel. Thanks for stopping by, Vanessa!
DeleteWoohoo! I see your name in print! And I'm so happy for Liz :)
ReplyDeleteHee...I know it's not big of a deal, but I thought it looked cool. LOL Made me smile.
DeleteThat's awesome! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sheri,
ReplyDeleteCongrats to both you an Elizabeth... such a cool cover and the premise.
I was asked by a wonderful blogger/author, Karen Gowen to quote one of my comments. She actually used it on her personal website. I was incredibly honored.
Oh, Wow! That's awesome, Michael. How cool!!!
DeleteThanks so much for sharing.
That is pretty cool! Good luck on the post(s) about plotting out a series, it's a hot topic, for sure!
