THE EMPIRE


Over Forty And Loving It

Link Loving

Why yes, this would be another blog entry! How about that!

****

I figured I'd do a little link love today, since I can't for the life of me think of anything else to write about, although I'm sure to go off on a tangent. I can't help myself. All this lovely white space just waiting for words to be writ. Heh.

First off, 3Words is starting up again October 1st. If you are not familiar with this concept, I'll fill you in.

For the month of October, a group of writers from all levels and backgrounds will be writing 100 words per day around three given "keywords" in an ongoing story. The goal is to write a 3k complete story by the end of the month. A few years back I participated with a fun bunch of people, and wrote for the better part of a year. I got quite a lot of material out of it, some of which did not suck! And one story, which I continued for four or five months, may actually make it to book form. For a more detailed explanation, see this entry about 3Words. It is, quite simply, a blast.

Registration is free and all are welcome, no matter your level -- all you need is a desire to write. It's only 100 words per day, and you write more than that in a blog post, Facebook update, or a day's worth of Tweets. It's strictly a fun exercise, and it really is a fabulous time. Come and play with us!

Support your indie publishers! MeiLin Miranda is one of the most talented and driven women I know. Her novel, Lovers and Beloveds, is a 100% "crowd funded" endeavor and RIPPING good yarn. No only is it available in e-Book formats, it is also serialized on her website and a hardcover edition is available. This story first appeared in serialized form, then was professionally edited and re-released. There is an interactive forum for fans of her work -- fans who have stuck with her through the year-long re-writing hiatus, and have totally supported her the entire way. It is an inspiring story behind the story :)

Reviews have been amazing, and MeiLin is an absolute whiz at marketing. You really must check this out -- it's a story of a young man realizing his destiny, filled with magic, intrigue, and a coming of age we can all relate to. I <3 Temmin, and I love the story. Highly recommended.

Here's a trailer:

And, Over Forty and Loving It is still alive and breathing, so hop over if you get a chance. :)

Today's topics include title editing, wedding jewelry, and vintage tiaras. The fun never stops, heh!
