Grab a water-gun and get ready for a splashing-good time here on The Writers Alley. There’s always a spray of excitement around here. And our upcoming guests for July are a BLAST!
Monday- Pepper fires off the week asking the question: How Do You Like Your Stakes? What some of the best writers have to say about raising the stakes in your fiction. Personally Pepper prefers her steaks med-well, but the only way to write effective stakes is well-done :-)
Tuesday – Sherrinda talks about White Space and why readers love it. Is that anything close to white noise? Or what about a white dwarf? Snow White? Sorry, getting a bit off topic here.
Thursday – Casey gets tough with her post called Hitting the Word Count Every Single Day. (Or as tough as Casey ever gets. She’s much too sweet to get too tough :-)
Friday – Come ready to learn and laugh with Krista’s post Shoot! I Forgot the Fourth.

Hahahah, Pepper, you haven't seen me in my true environment, I'm not sure my family would agree with that "always sweet" thing. :P
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I love it. Just wish I could be here to actually read it. Pout, looks like a great week. :)
Have fun ladies!
Renee,
ReplyDeleteWater guns are definitely a good idea. It's hot my way too today. And humid. I can handle the hot, but I really don't like the humid :-)
Case,
ReplyDeleteYou'll be missed - sassy or sweet :-)
Have a great time. You can catch up on your reading when you get back
