LOOK OUT

Another game of “Tag, you’re it” is circulating again. This time I have been tagged by Nancy Williams. The requirement is to copy one or several paragraphs from your current manuscript with the word 'look' in it and then Tag someone else. This excerpt is from my first draft, so I know that I have to change some things. Do you have any suggestions for replacing the word LOOK in the following paragraph?

WIP: Book One from “Gods and Fairytales, Secrets of the Ash Tree”

Setting: My MC Liv meets Loki for the first time

                “You can make this easy and just give me the necklace. I know you found it…” On the verge of tears he  pulled off a chunk of his hair and squawked, “Just look at what’s happening to me!” He then peeled away a small part of his face and exposed an open sore that oozed with puss. Slowly he composed himself and continued, “My own daughter Hel did this to me, and you my scared little rabbit are going to help me fix it. All I need is that necklace and I can get rid of this wretched curse!” Loki suddenly realized that Liv was just standing there with a stupid confused look on her face. He had expected her to react by now, maybe even change into something a bit more fearful than this human thing. He backed away and studied her closely, and then tilting his head to the side he said, “You don’t know what you are, do you?”

Run brother because TAG, YOU’RE IT! MICHAEL DI GESU…IN TIME

Have a great week and come back on Friday for the blogfest “OH HOW I MISS YOU” Hosted by Alex Cavanaugh, Matthew McNish, and Andrew Leon. It is not too late to sign up!

SWEET!

Today there must be some kind of sweet magic surrounding me. Most of you already know that I blog often about food and that I have worked in several kitchens preparing food for tourists and locals alike. I am not a chef but somehow I always end up in a kitchen. I love food so getting paid to eat it and make it is more fun than work. My dream job would be to travel around as a food critique. Anyways I am getting off track. Today, out of thin air a friend asked me to help out at a small café at the museum nearby. I have been baking bread and cake all day and when I got home to read my mail what do I see but a SUPER SWEET BLOG AWARD from Nancy Williams. If you have not visited her blog then you really should. She is a wonderful person and her blog is full of helpful hints for the “Writing Inclined” individual. Here is the link, so go say HI!

Here are the rules for The Super Sweet Blog Award:

Answer a few questions about sweets. Pass it on to deserving bloggers.

1. What's your favorite treat, cake or cookies? At the moment I am sick of cake,today I made 4 chocolate cakes, 4 apple cakes and 4 carrot cakes. “Let them eat cake!” so I am going to say cookies! I love oatmeal, gingersnaps and peanut butter cookies.

2. Do you prefer chocolate or vanilla? Dah! CHOCOLATE RULES!

3. If you had a sweet nickname what would it be? Twizzler, I will leave that up to your imagination…ha ha ha!

Now comes the hard part since I believe all my blogger friends are deserving of this award.  I will try to pick out a few that I think are super sweet. If you already have this award that means you are super- super sweet. Have a great week-end everyone!
