Jaycee @ Jaycee DeLorenzo awarded me the Stylish Blogger Award!

For this one, we’re supposed to share the last time we dressed up.

I dress up every day for work but the last time I actually wore something uber fabulous would have been for … well … probably my company’s Christmas party.

I award everyone that doesn't have either of these. Awards have been flying around the blogosphere lately and I can't keep up of who got what.

Thanks to both of you for thinking of me. You both Rock with your C-- nope, you don't have one of those. So I guess you both Rock B-- nope, you don't have those either... hmmmm. You know where I'm going with this. Right?!

Don't forget our upcoming Bloghop June 12th and 14th!

Jackie @ Bouquet of Books and I are hosting the First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest

Why is it perfect?

While Jackie adores the kissing and hand holding scenes, I’m the “give me fat lips and magical dueling any day of the week” type girl, the bloodier the better. Though Jackie also likes fight scenes; I HATE to write love scenes. I find it difficult to get in touch with my soft side. This blogfest forces many of us to work on other scenes that we may not like and make them shine.

Also what happens after a good argument? - Making up!

Share your 1^st FIGHT and 1^st KISS scenes in your MS’s or WIP’s. Crack open your current project or dive back into an old one. We want to feel what your characters feel. From the sting of their first fist-to-the-face to the tingling taste of their first kiss.

If you’re not a writer, please share with us your real life firsts. We want to read and experience them all!

The First Fight/First Kiss blogfest will go as such: 

• Post 1 will be on Tuesday, June 12 - Share with us your 1st FIGHT scene on your blog. It can be physical or verbal, fists or magic, vampires or zombies, fictional or non-fictional. Whichever you want to share.
• Post 2 will be on Thursday, June 14 - Share with us your 1st KISS scene on your blog. It can be a peck on the cheek or a full fledge kissing session. Whatever you would like to tell us.

Details for the First Fight/First Kiss blogfest:
