As part of Randi Lee's 3Ups bloghop, I have the pleasure of spotlighting writer and blogger
Krystal Jane at The Narcissistic Rose: Writer of the Fantastical, Supernatural and
Magical. If you don't know Krystal or Randi, please head on over to their blogs. They
are both really nice and great bloggers to get to know.
I recently met Krystal, but after reading some of her posts, and
interacting with her a few times, it's clear I'll be stalking keeping a close eye on her blog.
Krystal's posts are well constructed, and articulate, and I think
she has what it takes to become a successful writer.
First, she's a determined and motivated individual. That quality jumps
right off the page and it's those kinds of writers that are going to be
successful.
Another quality I like about Krystal is she's honest about her writing. We
all go through our little successes and failures along the road to publication
and Krystal isn't afraid to talk about what worked and what didn't work for. The writing community is about sharing and helping each other out and
Krystal gets that. :)
I also think it's great that she's willing to experiment with her
writing. I wish more writers were like that. In some of her more recent posts,
she talks about an experiment she did involving the dreaded query process. She
also talked about the breakthrough she had when she her main character
convinced her to change POV in her story. What I'm trying to point out here is
that experimenting, taking risks, and moving outside our comfort zones, will
help us grow and develop as writers, and I think Krystal already knows
that.
I'm happy to have gotten the chance to get to know Krystal better and I
want to thank Randi for putting together and hosting this special bloghop. You
ladies both rock! Oh, and I can't leave without mentioning one more thing. Krystal
has a cat named Hamlet, and that, my friends is purrrr awesome. (=
Thanks for the tip. Will check them out.

I've been checking out some of the bloggers who have been "upped" in the 3-UPS blog hop. This is really a great networking idea. I'm off to check out Krystal...
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check Krystal's site after your nice review. She sounds like a very interesting blogger. I thought the bloghop was a really good idea, too bad I couldn't sign up.
ReplyDeletewow, krystal sounds amazing!! i'll go check her out, too!
ReplyDeleteHave not Meth Krystal, but I shall also have to meet her and check out some of her posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great review of a fellow blogger - you should do it more often, but skip the cat jokes - I wasn't feline it.
New to me, so I will check out Krystal and Randi.
ReplyDeleteWatching the French Open, and going there is a dream of mine. (sigh)
This is such a nice recommendation! I'll go check her out now.

I totally did that hop wrong. I really better start reading directions better. Gosh, you'd think I was a man!
ReplyDeleteGreat 3 ups Elise, and all true! I also love the title of her blog, The Narcissistic Rose. I can relate to this title so much. When I started writing, I was trying to come up with a logo of a black rose stabbed through a bleeding heart. A terrible fail on my part. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for highlighting another blogger. I'll have to check her out.
ReplyDeleteI stopped by to make sure I hadn't missed your blogfest (starts tomorrow -whew). Imagine my luck to have stumbled onto this fun 3up, blogfest. I'm heading over now to visit your nominees or the bloggers you spotlighted.
ReplyDeleteOkay, *takes deep breath* Uggggghhhh, another blog hop! That's better! Now then, where was I? In fact, where the heck am I? Hey guess what, I sorted out a hanging basket.
ReplyDeleteSorry, ignore me!:) Serious stuff alert. This has a lot of meaning to you in the interaction you have shared with Randi and Krystal. Being so incredibly nice, I shall go visit them. Hey maybe I can get more followers. Oh yeah. I'm kidding. And Elizabeth! Ahem, I read your comment! LOL?
I'm going now, Elise. Please don't cry.
Gary :)
Excellent Ups for Krystal, Elise! Completely agree with you and love the fact that she experiments with her writing. Also, thanks for taking a part in this. I really appreciate it and I am sure Krystal does too :D
