First, for all of you who are writers out there, here is a great chance to get your query letter critiqued in a contest. My local chapter, PLRW, is hosting their annual Write Hook Query Letter Contest. The information is right on their site on how to enter. Just click the above link and it’ll take you straight to the information. It’s a great opportunity, and I wish you all the best of luck!
Second, four major deaths have happened within the last seventy two hours. I wanted to say how sorry I am for the death of Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon (who actually died last Tuesday), and Billy Mays.
I know that Billy Mays was definitely not as famous as Ed McMahon, and McMahon wasn’t as famous as Fawcett and Fawcett wasn’t as famous as Jackson, but they all still lived in the public eye and I thought I’d put a little thingy in here about it.
On a brighter note, I’ve joined this great blog called ‘The Word Ninjas!’I'm officially a Word Ninja! 
Word Ninjas, Ink. is this great blog that promotes authors and reviews new releases. You can check out their site here. I’ll be reviewing Word Ninja books on my young adult literature column at Examiner.com if you want to check it out. Next Tuesday, I’ll be reviewing Cyn Balog’s book ‘Fairy Tale’ so make sure you stop by.
Last but not least, I’ve had some good news on the writing front with some adult work I’ve been writing but nothing on the young adult stuff yet. For some reason, I always thought that the selling stuff would happen soon after signing. Instead, I’ve been working on revisions for a few months. My book is definitely in better shape now than it was when I first signed, but I’m getting antsy to move on to the next step. I’ll let all of you know if any news happens any time soon. You know because I’ll be freaking out.
Anywho. Keep reading on Examiner.com and on my blog here for more updates! I have Andrea Dana coming up on Wednesday and more sexy Saturday’s in the future!
Have a great night! <3Nisha
