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.

Want a Sony Pocket Reader?

I do!

Rachelle Gardner partnered with Sony and WordsMoveMe.com to offer a Sony Pocket Reader to one of her lucky readers/entries!

Details are at her blog at http://cba-ramblings.blogspot.com/2009/12/words-move-me-sony-reader-giveaway.html

The winner just has to MOVE HER with their entry. The one that she chooses will receive the Sony Pocket Reader and the promise that she will read the book from the entry.

Oooooh the possibilities are endless! The idea that she would read my novel makes me giddy. Lord, knows there are plenty of passages that move me in Mandorian Prophesies. Or even the pieces of Unseen that are written.

So with excitement, I opened the sight then copy and pasted... drat only 255 chars... copy and pasted again... shoot still too long... copy and pasted... Ah ha! It fits... then I froze.

Then closed the site.

Really, Eisley? Really? Why can't you push submit?

Well, that's simple. Remember that Christmas list with confidence on it? Yup, soooo not Christmas yet, which means Santa hasn't come to stuff any confidence into my stocking. ;)

Silly Eisley...silly, silly, silly!

So, I open the sight again. Copy and paste another entry. Didn't fit. Again and again... 255 chars are just not enough to communicate what I think I need out of the exact text.

That little "X" in the top right corner mocks me again.

And wins.

Now what, Eisley? You going to sit there forever with a gem under your belt?

Why yes... yes, I am. Okay, well not really. But Rachelle doesn't read Fantasy... so it feels like a lost cause. But I would really LOVE to have that reader...

So my new idea... post out of a published novel that really has moved me. Then maybe she will have the chance to read a good published author, and I still get my Reader :)

Good idea, no?

;)

EDITED TO ADD A SCREAM!!!! Ahem, okay... well I did it. I didn't submit Mandorian Prophesies because I knew its not one she would like to read (being that it's fantasy) but I did submit three quotes from my Unseen WIP. So we will see!!!
