Weekly Spotlight .... Could Be You!

Greetings, bleeps! Happy Wednesday to you! If you're having a snow day, hope you're enjoying. We don't get those down here in Florida. It's pleasant and balmy out... just a typical day. Thankfully, I didn't have to work today. The canceled flights just won't end. I'm so over it.

Anyway, if you're new to my blog, welcome! I'm super happy to have you here. Wednesdays are the day I do a weekly spotlight. I shine the light on a blog I follow and tell you why. You never know, one day it may be YOU.

Today, the Blogger Oscar goes to ...

CHRISTI CORBETT of CHRISTI CORBETT'S BLOG

Have you met Christi before?? She is a dynamite writer and she hosts a stupendous blog focused on the craft. Just check out her sidebar for helpful links on writing. She is dedicated and super sweet. Who couldn't use a blog like that??

I've been wanting to spotlight Christi's blog for awhile now, and today seemed like the perfect day. Her post today is on an 11 year old writer, Rebecca, who shares a short story. Rebecca hopes to get some constructive feedback as well as advice in general. Did you write stories as a child? I sure did.

I took full opportunity to share a little writerly wisdom with Rebecca. How cool would that have been to receive when you were a kid?

Take a moment to stop by there today and show Rebecca some encouragement and lurve. Then, if you don't already, start following Christi's blog and take full advantage of her helpful tidbits.

What are you waiting for??

T C Mckee said...: Just got back from Christi's blog. How cool was that post? I'm not sure I would have been that brave at eleven. I was generally the girl who hid random doodle books throughout the house. Who am I kidding, I still do this. Great weekly spotlight. Thanks. Oh and, I'm jealous of your climate right now. The winds blowing so hard I'm contemplating hat day. Totally blows. No pun intended.; February 2, 2011 at 8:14 AM

christicorbett said...: PK,

Thank you SO MUCH for spotlighting my blog today! Rebecca is a wonderful young lady and a true pleasure to work with.

Your generousity at sending fellow writers over to critique and give advice is why I love the online writing community...everyone is so supportive of each other!

Thanks again Pk,
Christi Corbett

PS. Rebecca is in school right now, but once she gets out she'll probably stop by your blog :)

PPS. Rebecca's mom is stunned at the show of support her daughter is receiving. Go fellow writers!; February 2, 2011 at 9:04 AM
