She Said What?! Bloghop Update

Bloghop update

• First, we are super excited to see everyone's entry and thank you all very much for participating and for all the awesome comments!

• Second, we want to let you all know that Tammy Theriault over at Writing one Petal at a Time is awesome. In fact, she's so awesome that when she enters her blog url into the list, the linky hyperventilates and passes out. So, I had to remove her name from the list but PLEASE check out Tammy's blog during the fest.  

• Third, I had intended to visit a bunch of you guys yesterday but  ended up catching the flu instead. I spent the night curled up on the couch in sweatpants and my Wonder Woman hoodie and proceeded to oscillate between the shivers and a fever. Good news,  my scull no longer feels like it wants to squeeze my eyeballs out of their sockets. Yeah! I'd say between Michelle's computer problems and my flu, it's been a memorable start to our bloghop. Luckily, things are better already. (:

Anyway, looking forward to visiting all you guys today and tomorrow and hope you have a great week!

  

Blog-O-versary Bloghop

Today Michelle Wallace at Writer in Transit and I are celebrating our blogging anniversary! Michelle has now been blogging for 2 yrs and I've hit the big 01. I'm out of my blogging diapers and pulling up my blogging training pants. (:  

Anyway, we thought about doing a fun and different little bloghop that doesn't require too much time. Below are 3 comic strips you guys get to copy and paste into your post. All you have to do is caption the strips and post by Wednesday. Michelle and I will announce winners on Friday. And that's it! Oh, and don't forget, Michelle has bonus words for you to try and fit into your dialogue for an added challenge. Remember guys, this is supposed to be fun. So slip into your silly slippers and feel free to make this as ridiculous and  nutty as you like. 

Here are comic strips for you to use. We've written in dialogue to give you an idea of how you can set it up in your post. Thanks to everyone who signed up as well as everyone reading from the sidelines, you all make this writing/blogging journey special and unforgettable. We can't wait to read what you guys come up with!

Bonus Words: twist, cheek, buzz, honour, grey, champagne, tango, vomit

Michelle's computer decided this weekend was a good time to crash and she's been a bit stressed out trying to get the problem fixed. Hopefully her computer will be back up and running later on today. Be sure to stop by and send her some good computer vibes, she needs it. (: 

Panel 1: 

M (in balloon): "ATTENTION EVERYONE! Today is our bloggoversary! Copy and paste us into your post and tell us what to say!"

E: "Hey M, don't forget to tell them to write down the corresponding panel number before each caption . . . woah!"



Panel 2: 

E: "Um M, I'm upside down."

M: "Great. Who let Einstein out?"








Panel 3

V: "Also, don't forget to give me the best caption because I can fly and have the best looking hair."















 
Panel 4:

"lskq urm eqa  qddf!!!  !! *poof*"








Panel 5:

Panel 7:

Dragon: "And don't forget the bonus words. I love captions with bonus words, so do the judges." *wink, wink*


E (or M): "Looks like that's the way to visit the other entries."

She Said What?!

(((****NEWS FLASH****)))

My friend and blogging buddy, the lovely Michelle Wallace over at Writer in Transit, will be celebrating her TWO year blogging anniversary! And guess what? Me too! Well, actually no. But I AM turning the big 01! 

Michelle and I met during A-Z last year and we just hit it off right away. She writes amazing flash fiction and I can't wait for her to finally tackle a larger project that I've been dying to find out more about. So if you haven't gotten the chance to read some of her work, drop on by her site, you won't regret it.

So poof, here I am one year old and wow that went fast. What the heck happened all this time? Actually, lots of great stuff happened. I bumbled out into the blogosphere, discovered an amazing community of writers and bloggers, made friends, participated in blogfests and bloghops, survived A-Z, wrote some crazy flash fiction, entered writing contests, hosted blogger/writer buddies, did cover reveals, did a guest post, co-hosted a bloghop and poured my little heart out about my insecurities. Now it's time to celebrate! And to do that, Michelle and I decided to get together and organize the: 

Now try not to groan so loud guys, I know there are a lot of bloghops popping up in February, but hear us out because this is going to be fun, easy and different. Yes, different because we don't know any better and wanted to do something a little off the wall, plus there will be prizes! So, instead of asking you all to write on a theme, we're going to put you in the screen writers chair and ask you to write some dialogue all in good fun. So here's what you do:

• On Monday the 18th of February, Michelle and I will post two comic strips with blank dialogue bubbles. 
• Drop in on one of our blogs and copy and paste the two comic strips into your post.
• Write the dialogue off to the side. 
• Post your entry on Wednesday the 20th of February and then check out some of the other entries to make fun of them. 
• Michelle and I will then pick some extra creative entries who will win prizes that will include books and other stuff. (;
• Winners will be announced on Friday the 22nd of February.
• That's it! So grab the badge, sign up at the bottom, and thanks for celebrating with us. (: 

"You know E, that's almost too easy."
"Hummm, I think you're right, M. That is too easy. What do you suggest?"
"How about I come up with a few random bonus words that the participants should try to use in the dialogue?"
"Brilliant!"

Did you guys catch that? Great. But just in case, I've put together an example of what we're talking about.

Panel 1: "Hi guys! We're so happy you're going to celebrate our blog birthday with us! It's going to be fun so sign up below on the linky list and get excited!"


Panel 2: "That's right E, this is going to be fun and all you guys have to do is copy the comic strip that we'll reveal on the 18th of February into your post. Then write your dialogue above or on the side of the comic strip." 

Panel 3: "Oh, and don't forget to write down the panel number in front of your dialogue."

Panel 4: "And one more thing, remember I'll have a list of bonus words for you guys to add into your dialogue for a little extra challenge and kiss up points!" 

Who let the cat out of the bag?!
