I heard about it from you. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd... B.
You say sleight of hand and I instantly perk up! hehe! That's my vote.
ReplyDeleteI read about it right here. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad I participated.
ReplyDeleteI choose B. I use lots of dialogue.
Oh! Of course! I saw it on Simon's blog. It was a lot of fun, by the way!
ReplyDeleteAnd either of those options look good to me.
I found it when I went through the Love At First Sight Blogfest participants-- but it was seeing that Just Another Sarah had signed up on her blog that made me commit. So, Courtney Reese and Sarah both played a roll? I don't know how you want to count that :)
ReplyDeleteI just saw other people's entries so like a lemming I had to post my own.
ReplyDeleteI vote for B since I have no idea what that is.
Hey, Laurel! I saw the first mention of the blogfest at Nicole's blog (http://thewhowhatwhenwherewhy.blogspot.com)
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by your "sleight of hand" post!
I heard about it from Nisa, but hers was really the only one I read. I didn't have a chance to post one of my own. (Next time, though!) I vote for A, though both topics sound really good.
ReplyDeleteI read about it on Tiffany Neal's blog "Tiffany Neal." Thanks for hosting it! What a fun contest :)
ReplyDeleteI read about the blogfest right here - after clicking on your link on the Love At First Sight blogfest.
ReplyDeleteI found it on your blog ;-)
ReplyDeleteI read about it first on Simon's blog and then checked for details on yours. Thanks. It was great fun.
ReplyDeleteI found the blogfest on Amalia's blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting it- I had fun!
Why, Miss Laurel, I heard about it from you ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I vote for A. I LOVE Dialogue, but I've beaten that topic to a pulp already. Would love to hear more on misdirection.
By the way, thanks for hosting such a fab blogfest. So much fun!
Found it on Simon's blog and came running over. Both topics sound great, but I write mysteries so narrative misdirection is essential. I vote for A.
ReplyDeleteFound it on Simon's blog!! :)
ReplyDeleteI found it on Stephanie's Hatshepsut blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd I vote for A!
I saw this earlier (before your comment on my blog--thank you, btw!), but couldn't remember who it was. After your prompting I thought about it and Nisa kept popping to mind, sure enough I left a comment thanking her in her link post :)
ReplyDeleteI vote for A.
Hi, Laurel! I actually didn't know about your blogfest until I happened across Carol's blog and read her story.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I met you!
Sleight of hand, please!
ReplyDelete... and p.s....
you are adorable! I can't help but think so!
I read about it on Donna Hole's and Tina Lynn's blogs. This was great fun. Thanks again for doing it. :)
ReplyDeleteI first heard of the blogfest here, but I also visit tons of blogs where it was mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I read about it on your blog, although someone else mentioned it, too. But I can't remember who, sorry.
ReplyDeleteI heard from Donna Hole
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Whoops! Blogfest participants. I think my superior shout-out winner is...SIMON.
ReplyDeleteThe irony is, Simon wins a 10 page crit and he's one of my crit partners! I guess this means, my friend, that you can use "10-page crit from Laurel" as a giveaway on your own blog. You're about to hit 200. So there you go. How's that for a prize? I just made your next contest that much easier.
Nisa: it's a useful trick for lots of genres. Thanks for voting and festing!
ReplyDeleteMary: Glad it was fun! Thanks for festing and voting.
Sarah: Glad you enjoyed. It was fun!
Amalia: Hmm...I think I have to give Simon partial credit as instigator of this chain.
Impatus: General buzz is good. Thanks for festing and voting also.
Lizzy: Thanks for letting me know and for voting!
Angie: These fests abound. When one appeals, hop on in! Thanks for voting.
ReplyDeleteKristen: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.
Lena: Ah, I suppose Courtney gets some credit, then.
Courtney: Indeed. Thanks again for hosting the LaFS Fest. It was swoony awesomeness.
Roxy: You're most welcome. Thanks for participating.
Stephanie: Hmm, tricky: Amalia > Sarah > Simon. I guess that's called "going viral". :-) Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteCarol: Yes, lots of folks have talked dialogue (pun intended). Thanks for voting. I think your choice is in the lead still.
VR: yes, a tool of mystery writers that's useful in other genre applications!
Tiffany: Thanks for letting me know!
Dreamstate: Wow! The uberviral chain! Stephanie > Amalia > Sarah > Simon. Kewl.
Tara: Thanks for letting me know and for festing and voting!
Elizabeth: Ah, Cool! Aren't these webs of connection fascinating?
ReplyDeleteAmber: Thanks for voting...and making me feel less ancient. :-)
AJ: Ah ha. I think Donna > Simon. You're welcome. Thanks for participating.
Laura: No worries. I think my superior shout-out helper is becoming clear.
Julie: Ah...which leads back to Simon. A common theme. :-) Thanks for letting me know!
Jemi: Thanks for cheering us on!
ReplyDeleteWow, I honestly can't remember. I saw it in several places and just kept seeing it. So, I thought, "Hey, I should do this, too!"
ReplyDeleteTina: Oh, good, general buzz. I'm glad the fest finally got there. I was a wee bit worried the turnout would be very thin. Thanks again for participating!
