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.
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'm blitzing Tabitha Blake as my RAOK. I picked her because as a critique partner she has been like my rock. An honest opinion in a compassionate way is hard to come by when searching for partners. She has really helped me overcome any and all obstacles in my way and for that I will be forever grateful. Tabitha, for my ROAK gift, I'm offering you a $25.00 gift card from Amazon. May you find a story to get immersed in :)
Many Thanks for always being there for ALL of us who have needed you.
I really appreciate Tabitha, who blogs at http://www.tabithablakesnocturnalnights.com If you have a minute, please stop in and tell her how awesome she is!**
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.

This is so sweet. It was a pleasure helping a new writer that has the passion and drive to become the best writer possible. But I can't take all the credit. You really wanted this and you went for it. I gave a little bit of direction and you took off. Congrats on your writing. Thank you so much. Its nice to be appreciated. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great write up on Tabitha! Becca is definitely my rock, so I know just what you mean. Thanks so much for being a part of our RAOk week. :)
