My Entries...

Read the previous post to catch all the details and see how you too can enter to win a Sony Reader!

Or, if you are too lazy to scroll below or you just want the cliffs notes:
Contest on Rachelle Gardner Blog, She is giving a way a Sony Reader. You must post only 255 characters of your novel on WordsMoveMe.com (up to 3 entries per person) and if your entries move Rachelle, you will get a Reader and a critique on the novel you moved her with. Just remember if you enter, put GardnerBlog (oneword) in the tags.

Here are my entries:

Entry #1: Unseen - Chronicle of Ishmael:
His heart rate leveled and the alarm tones ceased, but only briefly. His heart rate rapidly decreased, setting off the alarms again. The medical staff began to rush frantically around William. His heart beat one last time, sending a flat line across the monitor.

Entry #2: Unseen - Chronicle of Stephen:
He stroked her hair as she admired herself in the mirror, purple lipstick blaring back. "You are just as beautiful as the day He created you," he told her.
She giggled. "I think I look like Cyndi Lauper in this lipstick."

Entry #3: Unseen - Chronicle of Zahalon:
His age fell off him like shackles as he sprinted to embrace his wife. No longer was he an elderly man, but a young one, matching the woman's age. He swung her around and rejoiced loudly to anyone who would listen.

I think you can *HEART* my entries if you go find them... they are located here. But they certainly aren't the best ones there. With such few characters, you can't really communicated the depth of the passage, but it was worth a try. Why not!

All three entries are from one novel based on true events. Each Chronicle is a different story.

Ahhhh confidence.... where art thou? If you don't get here quick, I might pull the post. I sooo hate putting myself out there. Well, really I just hate rejection... but... ahhh... you know.

  1. Please don't pull the post, good lady. Every time you take that chance and put yourself out there, you win a small victory. Even if it's only a victory over your inner critic, it's still a tiny little win that you can savor.

    Keep at it. Even published writers lose faith now and then. Read any writing memoir to remind yourself of that.
