I know we've been teasing you with something epic, and so here it is: we are opting to not do a traditional launch day book splash. Instead, we've gathered a ton of people to help us celebrate something much bigger and better: WRITERS!
WHY? Well, perhaps we're biased, but we believe that the writing community is the best of the best. Filled with people who support and educate, we all learn and grow together.
How many of these people do YOU rely on?
- Critique Partners, who spend hours showing us how to make our work gleam
- Writing Groups, who cheers us on
- Writing Friends, who listen, support & and be our rock when we have doubts
- Authors & Illustrators, who inspire us through their books and art
- Book bloggers & Librarians, who open our minds to incredible books we might not have otherwise read
- Blog Visitors, who spend time with us, sharing their thoughts, ideas and opinions
- Industry Professionals (Agents, Editors, Copy editors, etc.) who help us to improve our writing and succeed
Many people are involved with the Writing Community, and at its heart are WRITERS. We love you guys, and wanted to celebrate you. So, what better way than through a Random Act of Kindness Blitz?
Kindness is powerful. Even the smallest of gestures can fuel us & keep us going!
All over the blogosphere today, you'll see Random Acts of Kindness. These are all by writers who also want to share their appreciation for the people who make this writing community great.
Sometimes, there is unrest in our industry. There is uncertainty and doubt, anger and fear. But today, let's forget these things. Instead, let's remember our common passion for the written word and together, celebrate KINDNESS.
Becca and I decided that rather than BLITZ a few writers with a RAOK, we'd go all out and offer a Random Act Of Kindness Gift to everyone! Feel free to upload this PDF on Emotional Amplifiers, which looks at 15 specific conditions (Pain, Hunger, Thirst, Attraction, Exhaustion, etc) that can alter a character's physical and mental state. A companion to The Emotion Thesaurus, this guide shows how to stress out characters so they react more strongly to emotional situations. Each entry lists body language, thoughts and visceral response choices to allow writers to create authentic character description.
We hope this will help you with your writing! Thank you for all that you do to make the Writing Community what it is.

Is there someone special you would like to acknowledge this week? Grab our badge and join in. The very best part of kindness is that it is contagious. :)
