The Muffin is having a give-away for Pesi's book and all you have to do is leave a comment, but be quick, because you must do it before Thursday, January 19th, at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time!

Another new and innovative website & blog is: Celery Tree and Celery Tree Blog. Also, check out: Coming Down the Mountain: A Writer's Blog, by Karen Gowen.
Here's what it says on the Celery Tree Blog: A website for authors to network, market, and sell your books. Leave the jungle. Join our village. Sounds awesome!

I'm excited to announce that I'm finally buying a memoir I've been so curious about. It's written by one of my wonderful writer blog friends - Ann Best. The title is In The Mirror and has received rave reviews on Amazon. I'm sending the check directly to Ann, though, so I can get a signed copy!
** Announcement **
I'll be having a give-away later this week or first of next week. Stay tuned for all the info!

“Sometimes people say to me, “I want to write, but I have five kids, a full-time job, a wife who beats me, a tremendous debt to my parents,” and so on.
I say to them, “There is no excuse. If you want to write, write. This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not live forever. Don’t wait. Make the time now, even if it is ten minutes once a week.” -- Natalie Goldberg

I haven't heard of Best's memoir. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely check out Celery Tree. The name, alone, is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the good tips, Becky. So glad I can still get into YOUR blog! Have your blogger issues settled?
ReplyDeleteLove the quote, and well, that's what I'm trying to do.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely of you to mention me and my book, Becky! I'm anxious to get your response when you read it. Of course I hope you'll like it :o).
ReplyDeleteAnd Celery Tree is a great idea to help writers. I'm in it, and will do a guest post about it at Mason Canyon's Thoughts in Progress this Friday and again on Monday on my own blog. I'm now only posting on Wednesdays, but occasionally I go outside this day, and for Celery Tree this is one of them!
Thanks for the link to Women on Writing. I'm heading over there now.
Ann Best, Author of In the Mirror & Other Memoirs

ReplyDeleteI love Natalie Goldberg. Her challenge is a little intimidating.

Found you at Tiny Lights, with a tiny one there of my own. Love your blog, Love In The Mirror, read many, many memoirs concluding my own this year.
ReplyDeleteI blog at www.makeminememoir.blogspot.com, mostly talking to myself. But that is good for me, marshaling my thoughts about the thing I'm doing. in the winter of my years I am discovering who I have been while discovering who I really am.
I'm off fo Celery Tree. I need all the help I can get!
Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for stopping and commenting. For some of you, just the fact that Blogger "allowed" your comments is quite a feat! :)
ReplyDeleteI always truly appreciate all of you, and I try to get to as many of your blogs as I can. Even if I don't comment, I hope you understand, and will be pleased knowing I was there....reading and enjoying your posts.
I must say a special Hello and Thank You to Barbarann! It's always so fun to hear how someone happened upon a blog!
I'm a visitor to Ann Best's blog as well. Her memoir is next on my Kindle download!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why....but I noticed this morning that you weren't in my favs on my side bar! So now you're under Artists at work! hugs! ♥
