Cassie Mae-A to Z on her fears. Oh my awesomeness. Don't try to eat or drink while reading these posts. My favorites, My Mouth Needs a Filter, Jell-O (because I too worried about those kids in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), Getting Shot in a Public Restroom.
Kate Scott -I gobble books whole and am always looking for recommendations. She's doing her top 5 favorite books in a particular catagory. I've been adding to my TBR list and got 3 of her boy recommendations yesterday. For me it's fun just to see what category she can come up with--and to know she has to do it 26 x 5 times. That's a whopping 130 books! (she just might be able to keep me busy through the month of May)
Ilima-Okay, she's not new to me, we're CP's, but I devour her posts like I do Kate's book recommendations. Friday she did Loglines, so wrote 2 of my own. They're awful, but now at least I have one (well 2, but you know what I mean).
In all their first draft stench:
My WIP: When eleven-year-old Ruby realizes her parents have been lying to her all her life she becomes convinced she's adopted and begins a search for her biological parents.
Lovesense: When Rae, who reads love in photos as a side business at school, finds a picture of her soulmate, she has to find him, navigate high school, and stay under the principal's radar; all before her arch enemy can out her.
What A to Z blogs have you been following? Favorites? Advise for my loglines?

ReplyDelete-->the only thing I'd say here is...what was their lie? Because you make it sound like they were lying about her not being adopted, but you also make it sound like they weren't, since she "becomes convinced" not "learns".
I like Lovesense's :)
Thanks for the shout out! I love reading Cassie's blog too. She's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWhat were they lying to Ruby about?
I'm not sure "reads love" explains what her ability is. I like the rest of that pitch. I love the beginning of Lovesense so much, I wish you could bring some of that voice into the pitch. Like:
Rae can look at a photo of a couple and tell when their relationship will sour like stink on cheese - making 'reading love' a lucrative side business at school. When she finds a picture of her soulmate, she has to find him, navigate high school, and stay under the principal's radar, all before her arch enemy can out her.
Thanks Taryn and Ilima-I'm processing now. The lying is about where she got her red hair, but it's more complicated than that. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping on clarifying "reads love" Ilima-so tricky to put everything in 2 sentences!
I like Ilima's suggestion on clarifying Rae's love-reading ability. And Taryn has some good food for thought on how to tackle your MG logline. I will have to check out those other two blogs. I was only out of town half of last week, and I feel so out of the loop!
