Take a second to think about writers you know, like the critique partner who works with you to improve your manuscript. The writing friend who listens, supports and keeps you strong when times are tough. The author who generously offers council, advice and inspiration when asked.
So many people take the time to make us feel special, don't they? They comment on our blogs, re-tweet our posts, chat with us on forums and wish us Happy Birthday on Facebook.
Kindness ROCKS!
To commemorate the release of their book The Emotion Thesaurus, Becca and Angela at The Bookshelf Muse are hosting a TITANIC Random Act Of Kindness BLITZ. And because I think KINDNESS is contagious, I'm participating too!
(I can't wait to get my copy of The Emotion Thesaurus! I use The Bookshelf Muse all the time!!)
I am randomly choosing Wendy P. Miller, my dear friend, critique partner, and sanity keeper. Wendy, for my RAOK gift, I'm sending you a special package of pink and green gumballs and a Bon Apetit Celebration Recipe Card Set!
2012 has been exciting but challenging for me, and it isn't letting up. Wendy has held my hand through all of the ups and downs and continues to do so. I can't stress enough what a wonderful person she is. She's hilarious, generous, an amazingly talented writer, and she's real. If I can pay anyone a high compliment--it's for being real. I hope you'll stop by Wendy's blog, Thoughts That Move, and tell her how awesome she is!
Do you know someone special that you'd like to randomly acknowledge? Don't be shy--come join us and celebrate! Send them an email, give them a shout out, or show your appreciation in another way. Kindness makes the world go round. :)
Becca and Angela have a special RAOK gift waiting for you as well, so hop on over to The Bookshelf Muse to pick it up.
