Writer's Wednesday: Blog Hopping Meme


I've been focusing on tid-bits for writers on Wednesdays but this time I think I'm going to switch it up, again.  Don't worry, next week we will go back to our regularly scheduled tips and links.  

I was tagged by fellow Blog Ring of Power host, Dean C. Rich and thought this would be fun.  The rest of the Ring has been tagged as well, I hope you check out their blogs to see the answers they provided.


Blog Hopping Meme

      1. What is your dream vacation?
A week in a cabin, in the forest, with supplies to last us the entire time I'm there. While I learn how to hunt with archery. The supplies are for the fact that I'm not sure if I could really kill anything.
2. Are you spontaneous or do you like to plan ahead?
I'm more spontaneous than I should be.  I try to plan, but the plans are always loosely set, just in case I end up doing something else. 
3. Tell us one thing you want to do but don’t dare to do.
Skydiving, I would love to feel the rush of the fall, but I think I'd have a heart attack before my coach jumper (don't know what they are actually called) pulled the string. There's a reason why you can't jump alone your first 10 times. 
4.  your biggest phobia?
Loosing my kids in any way.  
5. If you were stranded on a desert island – what 3 things would you want with you (not including laptop, or family).
I would say, A Swiss army knife, boat and a fishing net, if I were thinking clearly. But it would be more like: A book, pen and notepad.  I'm a true geek/obsessive writer like that. 
6. Name three blessings in your life.
My three kids.
7. What was your nickname in High School?
Emmy- it stuck with me since childhood
8. If you could meet the President of the United States, what would you say to him?
The government should not have paying jobs, it is a civil service, it should not be a place of power.
9. If you could be any literary character for a day, who would you be?
Tasslehoff Burrfoot, in Dragons of Autumn Twilight. He's a fun character and even though he goes through some crap, it would be worth it to be him for a day.  I love Kenders!
10. What is your favorite quote?
Don't worry about the future, forget about the past, live for today, for today won't last. (not sure who said this first, but it was part of the Skills USA motto for me, and stuck with me ever since)


Ok, so it's time to play tag!

    Oi, thanks for the tag. Is this blog new? When I went looking for your blog in my Google reader, I got a "blog no longer available" prompt, or something similar. Glad I found you again!

Retreating from the Writer's Retreat

Image
As I have learned, When Words Count Writer's Retreat has a sweepstakes at the end of every year to generate free visits for writers from the beginning of January all the way to the end of May. I was one of those people who won. Coming to the retreat, I was blessed with stunning views of mountain ranges and winding back roads, a covered bridge and farms. All of this pleasant to look at. Arriving was just as beautiful. From the mountains in the distance to the little pond just beyond the house it gave a promise of peace and possible productivity in writing. My room is the top left corner. Hi room, I'm home for the next few days. I admit, when I had first won, I thought it was a scam, and in doing research I have not been the only one to think so. It's not a normal thing to hear about some random retreat in Vermont and also to win a 3 night stay at a country type house in the shadow of the Green Mountains in said retreat. It is real, however, I can attest to it.

The Bar

Image
Pepe Don had owned a bar when he was young. Mike and his sister decided, now that they were adults, they would finally open the door and see what was left of it. He unlocked the door and the dust hit him. Coughing, he walked in. Becky kept her arm over her mouth as she followed. "Look at all those bottles!" Mike ran his hand on the wood of the counter, picking up a layer of dust. Each bottle had a label and a tag on it. "It is a bar after all." Becky shrugged and headed over to the piano. She plunked her finger on a few keys, the sound was pitch perfect. "This still works." Mike looked at the tags on the mostly full bottles. His jaw dropped. "I don't think this was a bar, Bek." "Look at this place, of course it was a bar." She played a few more notes, the music ringing out in wonderous tones. With each tune, the dust seemed to shake off the bottles. "This isn't a bar. It's an apothecary," Mike insisted. Looking fro

Lucky 7 MEME

Image
So I was tagged in another Meme, by Dean C Rich and Cherie, which is great cause they're fun. :) And this one is called Lucky 7s. My lucky number. Sounds good so here it goes. Lucky 7!   This one is quite easy, so without any delay, here are the rules: 1. Go to page 77 of your current ms. 2. Go to line 7. 3. Copy down the next 7 lines/sentences, and post them as they're written. No cheating. 4. Tag 7 other victims, er, authors. I'm going to ask your forgiveness in advance for my pg 77. Though I haven't looked at it, in a while, I'm doing a complete rewrite on my Work In Progress so this may be a bit rough.   From Second Nature Her curvy body was dressed in greens and browns of vines to cover her.  The lady’s feet looked like the roots of trees imbedded in the ground.  Nemune gasped in awe. From one side of Nature came Una and Endoria, from the other came Agasga and Rytharvin. Nemune watched as Dawveed got up from where he lay.
