Weekend Writing Warriors: January 18, 2015

Welcome Warriors. If you'd like to know about the Weekend Writing Warriors teeshirts,  please see note at the end.
        Weekend Writing Warriors is a weekly bloghop. Each week, participants sign up HERE at wewriwa.com, then post 8 sentences of their work, published or unpublished, to go live between noon, Saturday, and 9:00 AM Sunday EST. Then we visit each other and read, comment, critique, encourage--all those things that do a solitary writer's heart good. 
          Snippet Sunday group from facebook--not us, but many of our participants do both, can be found HERE     
          Set up: The MC was vanished without a trace for two years, then returned "without a trace" too.  After spending a year being treated for being delusional-- she's convinced that her dreams are actually her missing memories, she's now working with a volunteer church counselor, Rayanne. 
    Marissa is meeting with  Rayanne. Rayanne is talking about her own childhood (at Marissa's request).  She just shared that her husband was killed in auto accident. The last line last week was: "It was our tenth anniversary."

[Rayanne] --> She paused again and glanced at the print hanging on the wall, at tiny clothing blowing on the impression of a breeze. “We wanted children but I couldn’t have them. We’d just started the adoption process, but after he was…gone, well, the finances changed for me and I couldn’t afford to continue. I moved back to Pittsburgh. My parents took me in, and here I am. My dad has moved on, fishing with my husband I like to believe. And I live in the house I grew up in. It’s in my name now."

 That's it. What works. What doesn't? I'm grateful for every comment you leave. :-)

Dana set up a wewriwa teeshirt deal with a company called teespring. There are several styles and colors available. We held down the price--no profit for wewriwa.  Everything is handled through teespring. You choose style and color from available options, they take your information, and the payment doesn't go through unless we meet a minimum number of sales. If they print the shirts, they also ship directly to the buyers. There's a tad over two weeks left if you'd like to pre-order one. If you want to see what's avaialble, click HERE!  That's it. 

Have a great week, all!

Weekend Writing Warriors Teeshirts

I'm not much for promotion, but how else would you know? ~wink~ We've designed teeshirts through a company called  TeeSpring There are several styles/colors available.You order the shirt in the size, color, and style of your choosing. You set up your payment information with Teespring, either a card or via PayPal, and then if the goal is met, (we still have 49 to go) Teespring takes payment and they ship you your shirt. It's a limited edition, and available for only the next 20 days. We're selling them at the lowest price we can. No profit for wewriwa. :-) What a cool way to show off that you're a writer!:-)

Weekend Writing Warriors January 11, 2014

Welcome Warriors. I hope you're all staying warm.  Weekend Writing Warriors is a weekly bloghop. Each week, participants sign up HERE at wewriwa.com, then post 8 sentences of their work, published or unpublished, to go live between noon, Saturday, and 9:00 AM Sunday EST. Then we visit each other and read, comment, critique, encourage--all those things that do a solitary writer's heart good. 
          Snippet Sunday group from facebook--not us, but many of our participants do both, can be found HERE     
          Set up: The MC was vanished without a trace for two years, then returned "without a trace" too.  After spending a year being treated for being delusional-- she's convinced that her dreams are actually her missing memories, she's now working with a volunteer church counselor, Rayanne. 
    Marissa is meeting with  Rayanne. I've skipped ahead a bit to where Rayanne is sharing a bit about her own childhood.  Rayanne is speaking.

"I was lucky. Had two parents who loved me, raised me in the church. I went to public schools, went to Sunday school, worked in the summers at my dad’s small company until I was through college. I got a job in Cincinnati when I was twenty-three, married at twenty-five,”  She stopped and looked away for a few seconds, inhaled deeply and continued. “I lost my husband in a car crash. He was driving home from work. He’d taken a different route so he could stop to pick up a bouquet for me; it was our tenth anniversary." 

 That's it. What works. What doesn't? I'm grateful for every comment you leave. :-)
