After my ‘first five pages/sentences’ post on giveagirlapen.com, Liz has decided to offer the chance for writers to send us girls your own first five sentences.
She will post them, with her critiques, on the site on June 28th.
This will give all writers the chance to receive help—to start with the best hook possible. We’re all here to network and root each other on && this is a great way to take advantage of that!!
Check out Liz’s post, which states the exact rules, and send in your work to ifyougiveagirl@gmail.com by June 27th.
I look forward to seeing what everyone has written. I love critiques—so much fun =)
I’ll be posting my first five sentences, as well, and hope that ya’ll will help me out, along with Liz! I welcome all advice—it’s always nice to see all views and take what makes sense to me and use the info for necessary changes…
Have a great Sunday, and Happy Father’s Day to those celebrating today.
Remember, if you give a girl… isn’t just for girls. We’re looking for any and all writers. So send your stuff in!!
I’ll talk to you all tomorrow!!
*p.s. — is it just me, or is this really weird that the one post that i was sooo ridiculously insecure about is the one that’s garnered the most attention, turning into not one, but four posts!?!?!! Craziness!!!
just goes to show that we all need to have confidence in ourselves!!!
want email updates?
Great! this is FUN!
It is funny how sometimes the things we like the least get the best of response.
I’ve noticed that the writing I’ve put the least work into tends to be the stuff people like the most. very strange..
so, are you gonna send your work??? =)
Yes, I will. I actually have a short that haws to get out of my systtem, and so far have only jotted down the first five or so lines this weekend. Never submitted anything on line like this, but there is a whole world out there that I need to take advantage of…
yepyep.
I was scared to death at first to post anything online.
I started with Authonomy, since no one can copy/email/print/etc… your work from there.
But I figure if I have my stuff out there everywhere that I can easily prove it’s mine if someone stole it—although I highly doubt anyone would waste their time with my work lol
Also, I have so many ideas in my head that it’s not like I’d be totally screwed… I can always write more =)
I look forward to seeing what you send us!!
Is this for any genre? lucky i thought about it this before the day passed…
yes. any and all genres!!
send something in =)
we’d love to read it!
