During the Works in Progress week, I’ll also being participating in the Hookers and Hangers Blogfest, hosted by Cassie Mae, Hope Roberson, Jade Hart, Kelly Lyn and Jenny Morris at Falling for Fiction. That is to say, on the 16th I’ll be posting the first sentence of a WiP. And on the 18th it’ll be the last sentence of the WiP.
I’m not yet certain which story I’ll be using as they’re all so very tempting. Will it be Golden Dawn? The Rogue King? Dragon? Or perhaps the incomplete Dark One’s Mistress?
Be here on the 16th and the 18th to find out. ^_^

THEN, as the Buccaneer Blogfest winds down, I’ll be getting revved up for the WHAT IF …? Blogfest. Running the week of the 13th to the 17th of August.
For this, I’ll be taking a fairytale and making a slight adjustment to it. And all in 300 words. I can do that. I think. I’ll certainly give it a shot.

And it’ll belong in one of these four categories, judged by a particular host:
Plot Twist – Cassie Mae
Comedy – Mark Koopmans
Tragedy – Leigh Covington
Love Story – Morgan Shamy

Don’t ask me what team I’m heading for, I’m not even certain what story I’ll be using. All I know is, I’m not that strong when it comes to comedy or plot twists.
So to do a love story or a tragedy … hmm …
