Blog Break #AmWriting

That’s right, I just used a twitter hashtag in the title of my post. Let’s just move past that, shall we?
I am going to spend the rest of the week getting my book into shape so I can send it off to beta readers.
But, I need two things from you… (What, you thought I was just going to let you off the hook? PSHAW.)
-
Words of Encouragement- Seriously, don’t you just do things better when you have a cheering section?
-
Volunteers to beta read. I would like to get a couple of fresh opinions on this book, so if you’re interested either email me mail@totallythebomb.com or leave me a note in the comments below.
Now, here’s the thing… I probably won’t be able to return the favor. I *might* have time, but I can’t guarantee reading reciprocity. So, if you want to read and give me your feed back–all while getting nothing in return–then this is for you!
How exciting your manuscript is at this point. Good luck!

Good luck with the writing push! The only cheers I remember from high school seem to Push ’em back & Rebound which are just not what you’re looking for – so I’ll just say, ‘Go Jamie!’ 🙂
.-= Jemi Fraser´s last blog ..5 Times the Fun =-.
I hope you had a productive week. Go, Jamie.
.-= Medeia Sharif´s last blog ..Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott, Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris, and Paranoia by Joseph Finder =-.
Good luck with the editing/writing! We are pushing ourselves as well…
Jamie I love your picture! =) (I finally found your blog! I’m way excited.) Congrats being almost done! Sweet!
Am very lime green jello, and yet also inspired. This is my first time with the beta experience, and it’s been eye opening, to say the least. I’m hoping you’ll give us a post on exactly how this relationship is supposed to work, and how it’s to be approached once the verdicts are in.
In the meantime…I hope the reads go well and revisions are short and sweet!
I know you’ll do a great job! I’d be happy to beta read for you as well.
@Shannon Kay, oh awesome! Thanks… I LOVE your pink supergirl stuff!
.-= Jamie´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
Girl, you KNOW I will beta read anytime for you. Anything for a *sister*, right?
.-= jmartinlibrary´s last blog ..DFW Writers’ Conference: The Best Present =-.
@jmartinlibrary, but you already DID READ… it won’t be all fresh and NEW hehe
.-= Jamie Harrington´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
Hey, girl! How fantabulously awesome that you’re in the final stretch! Keep on keeping on, missy. Then go enjoy you some WoW. ‘Cause that’s what it’s all about.
I would love to beta read for you–even if you can’t read for me. *sniffle*

@Mary, WOOHOO!
.-= Jamie Harrington´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
Hope you have an awesome writing week!
.-= Alissa´s last blog ..When art imitates art =-.
I’d love to beta read your book, but I have to finish my revisions before the kids are out of school for the summer.
Love the sign, btw. 🙂
@Stina Lindenblatt, That’s EXACTLY the same thing I have going on. I have to get this DONE before she’s out for the summer!
.-= Jamie´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
How exciting that you’re on the home stretch!! You should definitely celebrate with some WoW once you’ve survived this week. You’re an author, so you’re naturally awesome! You’re story will be amazing and everyone will love it once you’ve finished polishing it. (That’s my stab at encouragement. lol.)
But if the voice in your posts is anything like what’s in your stories, then they will be totally awesome. seriously.
.-= Olleymae´s last blog ..Writer’s excuses =-.
@Olleymae, ohhh I SO want to play some WoW!
.-= Jamie Harrington´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
See that light at the end of the tunnel girl, it’s called success! And you’re almost there! Just a few more steps… Keep those feet moving.
.-= Heather´s last blog ..In My Mailbox =-.
@Heather, I just want it to be AWESOME, yanno?
.-= Jamie Harrington´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
Give me a J…
GO Julie, go!!!
I can read it,in smaller chunks if that helps at all(I’m hightailing it right now too-revising my ending).
.-= write-brained´s last blog ..Under Lock and Key =-.
@write-brained, lol who’s Julie?
.-= Jamie Harrington´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
@Jamie Harrington, Jamie I am such a dope!! You know who Julie is? The name I just got done hand-stamping on a jewlery order! I am SO going to tell my customer this story!
Can we say SCATTER-brained? Okay can we start all over again? Give me a J-A-M-I-E!!!
.-= write-brained´s last blog ..Under Lock and Key =-.
@write-brained, HAHAH! I want MY name hand stamped on a jewelry order LMAO!
.-= Jamie Harrington´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
@Jamie Harrington, And here I thought she was cheering for me. Not sure why, but I liked it 😛
.-= Julie K´s last blog ..Inside My Cave =-.
@Julie K, ohhh let’s go with that. 🙂
.-= Jamie Harrington´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
When would you need the read? I really enjoyed what I saw of Sketch’s story, so I’d be happy to do it, but I’m gone this week to RT.
.-= Julie K´s last blog ..Inside My Cave =-.
@Julie K, next weel–but it isn’t SKETCH 🙂
.-= Jamie Harrington´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
@Jamie Harrington, LOL I figured it wasn’t Sketch. That was more of an “I like your writing style” comment 😛
.-= Julie K´s last blog ..Inside My Cave =-.
@Julie K, AHHH okay 🙂
.-= Jamie Harrington´s last blog ..Blog Break #AmWriting =-.
I think my comment just got eaten….either that or you will just be flooded with comments from me in a minute. Basically, it went something like this:
Woo-hoo!!! Go Jamie! You will have a shiny, sparkling manuscript in no time!
Also, I sent you an email. 🙂
.-= Rachel´s last blog ..Interview with Jackson Pearce =-.
Woo-hoo! You are getting close. Keep pushing–you will have a shiny, sparkling manuscript soon enough. 🙂
I sent you an email.
.-= Rachel´s last blog ..Interview with Jackson Pearce =-.
WooHooo!! You’re nearing the finish line and that? I absolutely amazing!!! Go Jamie, Go Jamie, Go Jamie!!
*now imagine poms and hair flying as I jump up and down in enthusiastic support of your efforts.*
