Giveaway:Collectible PetCakes Plush Ends 12/15/11

Do your kids love plush animals and cupcakes? If they do they’ll love the PetCakes Collectibles from WellMade toys. They’re plush animals your kids can take in and out of the cupcake bases unlike the original PetCakes that were attached.  The PetCakes I received were Nutty Nicky and Roco Coco. 

The two PetCakes I received are adorable. They are well made and are enjoyable for both kids and adults.  The collection is great for collecting just like beanie babies and baseball cards.
The  PetCakes are safe with little ones since it doesn’t have any removable buttons.

Book Review: Fiction Boot Camp

Fiction Boot Camp is one of the best writing books I’ve read. Inside the book, I found chapter after chapter of thought provoking questions and advice.  The book is a lot like a workbook for writers. 

As a writer, I think the questions are helpful to engage the reader with chapter after chapter of interesting material. The book helped me see the areas I need to tighten up in each chapter. The book makes the writer’s job easier by asking the questions in black and white. The questions are one way a writer can explore their novel during the editing process. 

The book is divided into two sections: Make Your Manuscript Irresistible and Advice from Publishing Insider. Each chapter of the book explores the different areas where writers struggle.

In the first section of the book, you’ll have chapters after chapter of exercises for both beginner and seasoned writers. At the end of the chapters you’ll find questions to answer for homework.

The second section contains advice and interview questions from several authors.  The authors offer tips to help with the writing process. The writers can learn to succeed in publishing and show areas to avoid in writing. 

One of the questions that have helped me a lot is: 

“Are there any parts that are hard to visualize? Mark them.”

I noticed I needed to show more than tell in multiple areas or show too much. 

I printed out several sections of the book to explore different areas of my writing. Each section of the book has helped me know the areas I need to work on throughout my book.  Any writer could benefit from Fiction Boot Camp.

Review: Bold & Beautiful Flip Flops by Mecca Brush

Mecca Brush sent me  two Vinyl Decals. The decals are the Bold & Beautiful Flip Flops and I love blogging. It's in  my daughter’s  favorite colors: pink, blue, and green. She wears four pairs of  flip flops during the summer. 

I put the “I heart blogging” decal on my desk. It’s a great conversation piece for anyone who doesn't know what about blogging. The decal was easy to stick and easy to smooth any bubbles

Save $1 dollar with coupon code meca1264

Meca Brush has a huge assortment of decals for anyone.  They have free  personalized  decals. My favorite decal was the Pretty Personalized Butterfly Decal.
