BLOOD and Other B's
First B...My essay Dead Dobie Wall was published in Cliterature Journal’s Volume 19 last month, which is entitled BLOOD. Click here to check it out.
I’ve included some Balloons to celebrate since the road to publication has been a bumpy one.
And as a tidbit of complete and utter randomness...
A friend and I used to watch Babycakes with Ricki Lake over and over again back in the day. Go figure.
Finally, my revised 140-character Twitter pitch for Shelley Watters Blogfest is listed below. Please feel free to make additional comments and suggestions. They are welcomed with open arms.
Bullied by the in-crowd, Noelle uses a guy to seek revenge. When she falls for him, everything unravels. She finds vengeance has a price.
oh my i love the new tweet! And I used to watch anything and I mean *anything* with Craig Schiffer back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your essay, if you could say that about something sad... I am glad you were able to see it published.
Have a fab weekend. My B should be popping online any second now. :)
Nice B's :) the first one reminded me of "Dexter"... I hope your road is not so bumpy anymore *big hug*
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the publication! The balloons are festive, and I remember Babycakes.
ReplyDeleteAs for you logline. I like it, but I would combine the second and third sentence for more flow ...
"When she falls for him everything unravels and she find vengeance has a price."
I hope that helps.

Congrats! I loved the logline. Best of luck

Congratulations on the publication. My road is still rather bumpy, but hopefully I will have balloons up one day :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, congrats on the short story Susan! The logline is much improved!
ReplyDeleteThe logline sounds good. I agree with the idea of combining the last two sentences. Maybe something like: "Then she falls for him, everything unravels, and she finds out that vengeance has a price."
ReplyDeleteIt's intriguing, but I'm not really sure how Noelle is using the guy for revenge. Is she setting him up or stealing him from someone? Good job at hooking the reader!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great start here. I'd like to know how she uses the guy to get revenge as well. I think once you've fit that in it'll be perfect. Good luck! :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats, and very nice pitch. Curious how this conflict come about...
ReplyDeleteI agree on wanting to know how she is using the guy, and would like to see the latter part smoothed a little. But other than that, good hook.
ReplyDeleteFantastic B words - that splash of blood looks very Jackson Pollack-like!
ReplyDeleteGreat picth! Congrats on the short story

Love your 'b' words! Good luck with the A-Z, and thanks for commenting on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pitch line! Love your B words! Will be watching how you tackle the rest of the alphabet ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi, there,
ReplyDeletePassing through on the challenge. Only thing I'd suggest for your pitch is getting a descriptive word in there for the guy.
Bullied by the in-crowd, Noelle seeks revenge through a popular/smart/radical guy. (you know what word fits of course. Hope this helps.
Nice assortment of B's. So many blogs, so many topics, so many approaches-- the Challenge is amazing isn't it.
