OMG, have you seen any of the Honest Trailer vids on YouTube? I watched the Harry Potter one that a FB friend had linked, then spent the next two hours looking at other ones.
Here are my favorites (the riffs on actor names are FAB!):
(Sorry the vids aren’t embedded; when I pasted the embed code, it all changed to Iron Man 2, LAME.)
I feel like Cartman waiting outside the electronics store for a Wii. Instead of pacing on the sidewalk, willing time to speed up to get a game station, I’m fidgeting in my chair waiting for THE LAST HARRY POTTER FILM EVER!
I’m all at once stoked and sad that it’s the end.
Are you ready to see the film or are you glad that it’s almost over?
Today’s post is a hodgepodge of sorts.
First, I’d like to share some “Oooh, this made me feel good news!” Clarissa Draper, blogger extraordinaire offers free chapter critiques on her blog and the first chapter of TALENT’S BLOOD (my YA Dystopian) was featured this week. Here’s the post, if you’re so inclined. You can sign up for your own chapter critique too!
My first chapter was also critiqued and posted by Lynnette Labelle. Lynnette is a certified copyeditor and proofreader, editor of LoveBytes (RWA Online’s newsletter), and she writes romantic suspense. She also manages an online writers’ support group called Writers on Writing and a critique group called Rumored Romantics. Here’s the link to her critique.
