Through Heart Shaped Glasses

This is a new group blog where eleven very talented ladies who write in different genres of romance come together to share stories, successes, and trials. The blog idea was hatched in my critique group, The Passionate Critters, and it is now live as of … well yesterday.

Each month we will have a theme in which our posts are centered around. To kick off our first month at THSG, we are rolling with the ‘First’ theme. My blog day will be on the 5th of every month and every other day there will be a post from one of my fellow lovely crit partners or even a guest spot. You will want to stop in often to see what craziness we are up to or what we are sharing, but better than that, you will want to stay in tune with the blog because there will also be a monthly give away sponsored by one of our members.

We all see the world a little differently, but we see it through…

and in the end, we are more than just critique partners, we are friends who come together from different walks of life and share a common passion for the written word, coffee, chocolate, and cupcakes! Just click on the little button and be whisked away to a new blog and new adventure. I promise you won’t be sorry!

 

On the 6th Day of Christmas~

My friends at Passionate Critters gave to you…

The Last Snowy Encounter by our very own Clarissa Yip!

If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Cole and Maddy in Snowy Encounters, here’s a little more of their story. If you haven’t…well what are you waiting for? Go check it out at PC now!

FF~Girl Rules 101

Yes I feel the need to share Moira’s girl rules. They may seem basic, but here they are none the less.

1. New Heels are totally fab but should only be decorating your stems when the time wearing them will be limited. What good are those to die for shoes if they are hiding under the desk or if you are walking like the Bride of Frankenstein in them? So not cute! Screams look at me in all the wrong ways.

2. Having to take more than one shower in a day is nothing to whine or cry about. Well unless you are covered in mud and your latest haute de couture creation is reeking, wrecked, and/or ruined! Then I might be brought to tears just by hearing the tale!

3. Make-up and Hair is a must! You should always do these two things before leaving the house.

Um...I'm sorry what was the rule about the guy in 2C?

For you. Not so the guy in 2C will notice you. It makes you feel good about yourself that’s why. Okay for you and for the guy in 2C, but please do it for you first!

4. Never put yourself in a position to be called a tramp. One exception to this rule would be that you were sacrificing your own pristine reputation for world peace, but that is an extreme example and you must be REALLY good at what you do to solve a centuries old problem like World Peace.

5. Girlfriends are hard to come by. If you have even one that you can relate to, treasure that friendship more than a Tiffany’s bracelet. Trust me. This is coming from a girl who LOVES Tiffany’s.

That’s it. My Friday Five. Dedicated to the wonderful Sally, her new shoes, and the email which inspired this post. ;)

Now run along and see what my fellow Passionate Critters have on their Friday Five lists.
