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.
Kindness ROCKS!
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 am offering my friend, Stephanie, a complete read through of her finished novel if she'd like it. She's been a great friend to me and is an amazing critique-er as well as penpal!
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.
Have you ever participated in or been the recipient of a Random Act Of Kindness? Let me know in the comments!
A Personal Note: This was a pre-written message promoting for their book release. I'm looking forward to someday getting a copy of the book, though being a college student, I have different priorities right now unfortunately. Their posts on their blog that contain some of the thesaurus were a perfect way for me to help out my characters and determine their characteristics in the beginning of the novel. Yes, only the beginning. After all, good characters take on a life of their own. ;)
Sounds like Stephanie is awesome! Thanks for joining us to celebrate writers like her. You rock!

That's a wonderful offer, Kate! Finding someone who will read through a whole manuscript can be a discouraging challenge sometimes. Great RAOK and congrats to Stephanie!
