I had a weird dream the other night about Tom Cruise. He's not my fave, but I had just seen the latest Mission Impossible and his breakup has been at the checkout stands recently, so...Anyway, the dream gave me a great idea for a short story! So I wrote it up and shipped it off to Lemon Twist Press who is looking for submissions to a short story anthology. The stories take off in any genre stemming from an item purchased at a second hand shop. It sounds great and they are accepting through August! Give it a look!
WRiTE Club just sounds awesome, doesn't it? The first smack down is July 30. Make sure you read all the rules and good luck to the contenders! I love the badge for it too! Thanks to DL Hammons for being the referee!
Two new announcements:
Christine Rains's FEARLESS comes out next month and she is hosting a release blogfest for it. Childhood Monsters Blogfest! Aug 7-9. Cute and Scary!
and
Unicorn Bell - a wonderful writing help site - is hosting an improve your Query contest with editors judging! See site for details...
And with August right around the corner, don't let August 1st sneak up on you - it's a Wednesday and the Insecure Writers Support Group will be meeting!
Lots to see and do! What's news with you?

Lol at dreaming about Tom Cruise! I love that it inspired a story though!
I am SO looking forward to Christine's bloghop and book release!
Great that you were inspired to write a story and sent it off! Fab!
Tom Cruise is still good for something, right? Good luck with the short story.
Thanks for all the links and info. Have a great Monday/week! :)
I hope your submission does well! I always like a good short story contest :)
I have the craziest dreams. It makes me worry about myself! LOL. I'll have to check out the Write Club. Sounds cool!
Nice posting, and thanks for the Lemon Twist, will definitely have to check that out! I am not writing for the Write Club but participating in daily reading and voting. It sounds like a fun event! Best wishes on your story submission. :) Enjoyed reading your posting today!

A dream about Tom Cruise? Eek! Thank you for the mention. I'm excited for the blogfest. :)
The Tom Cruise dream sounds better than mine. Sounds like an interesting anthology.
There's lots going on in August. Did you join Write Club?
Weird dream. Did you have ice cream before bed? I find that causes mine.
Thanks for all the info! Great timing on the query contest.

So much good stuff going on!
Thank you for the WRiTE CLUB mention! Can't wait to get the ball rolling! :)
Thanks for all the links. Yeah, you can't go anywhere or turn on your TV without seeing Tom Cruise. He's not my fave either but I do like several of his movies. My faves are A Few Good Men, Top Gun and The Last Samurai. Hah, now I'll probably have a dream about him! Good luck with your story!
So many great things are happening around the blogsphere!!
