BRoP Year in Review: E.M. LaBonte

As 2013 comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of the joys and triumphs of the year. To that end, we bring you the 2013 Blog Ring of Power Year in Review Giveaway Hop! We’ve teamed up with this past years’ BRoP interviewees to bring you 22 days of “year in review” guest posts and 20 fabulous giveaway prizes! Each day we'll share a new guest post on the year in review from a previous BRoP interviewee and you’ll have another opportunity to enter the giveaway—so get hopping! And be sure to enter the giveaway at the end of this post!

Today is all about me. Weird right? As I'm not published yet. Make that bad boy a big fat YET.  

I'm wrapping up the final chapters of Second Nature, a book I've been working on for almost three years now. It's a stand alone with sequel potential. An Epic Fantasy that takes the Chinese Tiger vs Dragon and lends a Medieval style to it. I'm sure your eyes just crossed with that one. Don't worry, I didn't destroy the match, only grew on it. 

In the meantime, don't forget that time is running out to enter to win some epic prizes from all the authors who have jumped back to let us know what they've been up to since we chatted with them last.

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....
