Rating and Reviewing, Reviews
I received my first 2 star review. Yay 🙂 Yes, I know I’m weird. Believe me I’ve been told that many times for many different reasons. In fact in a round about way, Friday morning, John Cox aka Paul Dorset, told me that I really must like the dentist more than him, because I was …
Take a Chance On Me!
A couple of weeks ago my niece posted on her blog about character personalities and where do you come up with them, so this morning I was making copies of personality traits I had found on the internet for her. Personally, I don’t have that problem. I get ideas from TV, the internet, music, and …
“The Writing Exercise Challenge”
There are many different challenges and blogger awards that get passed from blog to blog. I decided to come up with a writing exercise challenge that you can do to help build up your weaknesses. Mine, personally, is writing descriptions whereas others struggle writing dialogue. See last week’s post here; https://karensdifferentcorners.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/a-challenge-interested/#comments So here are the …
A Challenge! Interested?
There is a fine line as to how much of your story is dialogue, and how much is description, and every story’s fine line is different. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out just where that fine line falls. But some of us have problems writing dialogue and some of us have problems with writing descriptions. …
Judging a Book By Its Cover Summing it Up
Before I sum up my thoughts on “Judging a Book by its Cover” I have one last minute cover to share. “Take A Stand” written by Nancy Bandusky. I came up with it because the hero has to decide to take a stand when Christianity is outlawed. My husband, Brent, designed the cover. I wanted …

Judging A Book By Its Cover Part 4 cont. Your Blurbs!
If you stopped by my blog yesterday, you know that I asked for blurbs from the backs of books or the descriptions posted on Amazon, but I also asked if the authors would change or add anything to their blurbs, some have, some haven’t. And if you would like to share your blurb email me …
Judging A Book By Its Cover Part 4 It’s All About The Blurb
I was reading a blog post (Ugh! Can’t remember who’s) But they were saying, “Give me more! Don’t be afraid to add more to your blurb or include a snippet from the book. If you want me to read it, entice and intrigue me.” Some books and movies have those famous one lines that as …
Judging a Book by its Cover- Fifty Shades of Grey
This is not Monday’s post. I repeat this is NOT Monday’s post. 🙂 But since I seem to analyze everything and we are looking at book covers and not judging them, I wanted to use “Fifty Shades of Grey” as an example. So here’s the cover… Last week we looked at different things that makes …
