Blog Hops in March

Today's Subjects:

• Two blog hops
• April’s Mosh Pit
• Confetti soon-to-be thrown.

Unicorn Bell, a critique group moderated by four writers, is offering prizes.

The crit site features advice for writers at every stage of their career.

Marcy of Mainewords runs a fantabulous site where she crits first pages with Dianne Salemi and posts jaw-dropping photos of her life. This is where I go first every Sunday morning after I snag a cuppa.

Jeffrey begins a kick off tomorrow for his debut novel, Spell of Entrapment. If fantasy is your meat and potatoes as it is mine, check this out.

Charity of Charity’s Writing Journey is in a class all her own. The lady is a modern day Wonder Woman running her clan of younglings, serving her church, and writing. And OMGoodness, that writing is about to explode into the publishing world, I just know it.

And yes, I am the fourth member of this elite group and humbled more than I can say by the association.

Unicorn Bell’s blog hop begins March 26 – 28. Did I say there are prizes?

MarkKoopmans’ Blog O’Hop starts tomorrow. Quick, quick, sign up NOW!

The Be-All and End-All Mosh Pit of a blog hop begins April 1^st the A to Z Blog Challenge. Get in on the fun and meet some of the best humans on the planet.

Lastly, the confetti. Or fireworks in this case.

I am nearing my two hundredth follower. When that day arrives, an Amazon gift card is in someone’s future.

What blog hops are you looking forward to in March and have you signed up for A to Z?

Of Lilacs, Honey, and Sun – Z to A Blog Challenge

In Missouri, this is the time of lilacs, sun-dried clothes, and honey. On our farm, this is the only season the three scents combine and breathe with the wind.

Odors spark the synapses in my brain and always pull me into a memory. Forty years ago, my sister made butter and now the smell takes me back to her. If I catch a whiff of mothballs and Channel No5, I think of my deceased mom.

In your manuscript, use aromas to focus the reader, to give a point of reference. After I read the words in one of my favorite novels, the scent of lilacs, honey, and sun does it for me, tugs my thoughts back to the book.

What books have opened your sense of smell just by reading the words?
