Random Act Of Kindness/Emotion Thesaurus
A smile. An encouraging word. A thoughtful gesture. Each day people interact with us, help, and make our day a bit brighter and full. This is especially true in the Writing Community.
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.
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'm blitzing Christine Fonseca because she is an amazing friend and author who has always gone above and beyond for me. To celebrate Christine I want to shout out about her fantastic novel, Lacrimosa and her novella Dies Irae and give away an eBook copy of each to one commentor! If you don't know this fabulous author yet and her outstanding novels, you've got to check her out!
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.

Christine's a great choice!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the thesaurus. It's my new BFF. :D
Me too! It's going to be a fantastic resource!
DeleteChristine's awesome. What a great choice. I have to get the thesaurus.
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed. And yes, you'll love it!
DeleteChristine is an amazing person and writer!! Fabulous choice.
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed, thanks!
DeleteI adore Christine--she's a GREAT choice, Heather! And, um . . . PICK ME!! PICK ME!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Fingers crossed for you. ;)
DeleteWhat a great idea. Random acts of kindness DO rock, and I believe they come naturally to most writers. I have certainly been the recipient--remember in the Bill Bernhardt workshop in Hawaii when I freaked when it was time to pitch my book and said "I can't do it!"? Every writer in the room, as well as Bill, literally reached out and said "Yes, you can!!" And I came back the next day and did. I still remember those amazing hands and voices. Writers are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI do remember that, that was a great moment. And I couldn't agree with you more. It does seem to be natural in most writers. ;)
DeleteChristine's a great choice! What a great idea to have these random acts of kindness. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a great idea, I love it! A big thank you to the ladies at Bookshelf Muse for coming up with it!
DeleteHey you, over here!! YAYAYAYAY Christine!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Christine, both on the shout out and on your books! And thanks for spreading the love, Heather!
ReplyDeleteBecca @ The Bookshelf Muse
You're absolutely welcome. And thank YOU Becca for such an epic idea. Love it!
DeleteAh, thank you so much. What a great surprise, and at a time when I truly needed it. And man, Angela and Becca's emotion thesaurus is the most amazing resource. Beyond.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome sweetie! It's much deserved. :)
DeleteThis post is awesome. I've always said I wouldn't be able to stay sane without the friendship and support of fellow writers and this post is the perfect example of that.
ReplyDeleteI'll second that Jennifer! You all help me so much, in so many ways. :)
DeleteNice choice.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...fabulous idea on doing a giveaway on Christina's books! And--might I add...I LOVE how your blog looks. It has been way too long since I visited.
ReplyDeleteSUPER awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love that you gave Christine a shoutout, she's fabulous. :) Happy RAOK week!
