I'm continuing to co-host a bimonthly link-up with Emily @ Loony Literate, called Snazzy Snippets. For those who weren't around last time:
It’s an opportunity for writers! Every two months, we post a prompt or question for you to share a snippet of less than 500 words. It’s designed to let you have fun, analyse your work on a smaller level, or just write something to join in.This is your chance to shine, grasshoppers, so comb through your WIPs for a snazzy snippet that fits one of our themes:
If you’re not a writer, or aren’t working on anything, don’t go back up the rabbit hole just yet. Read everyone’s wonderful snippets on the linky!
A snippet with food
or
A snippet you're really proud of
or
Your first 500 words
And of course you can do more than one in one or more snippets. It can be something you whipped up at 3AM yesterday, or lingering in your ms for a year. There are no rules. Just have fun, and remember to include your post URL in the linky!
Whether or not you're taking this chance to shine (pfft, why wouldn't you though), do take a look around everyone's links! I'll be sure to visit your snazzy snippets.
Still have questions? Snazzy Snippets now has its own page on the blog, with FAQs and more. Take a look!
Thoughts on this month's prompts? Which WIP would you excerpt if you join?
Twitter-sized takeout:
Yay!! Can't wait to link up again :)
ReplyDeleteLoved your snippets this time, Opal! Thanks for joining!
DeleteIt's so much FUN, isn't it??? I hope I can read your snippets, Alyssa :D
ReplyDeleteIt IS. I can't wait to brainstorm new prompts for next round. They went up just a few moments ago!
DeleteHmm, I hadn't been planning to do the link up this month, but I'll have to think about it. It does look tempting. :P
ReplyDeleteOH DO IT. It shall be lots of fun and I'll drop by and read your snippets :D :D
DeleteI love your prompts this week because I have been able to creep on people's food writing, food writing is the BEST writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aentee! Food descriptions are FABULOUS.
DeleteOooooh I'm totally joining.
ReplyDeleteDo join do join! Looking forward to it :D
DeleteI shall read the snippets! I have very few words in general, but I will be keeping this in mind for future reference, it's so fun! Off to read these lovely posts :)
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
I hope you'll take the time to join us when you have written your own words! In the meantime, do enjoy the very snazzy snippets on the linky now :D
DeleteAh, this is the feature that actually inspired me to actually start my WIP already. I'll have to get to that soon so I can add my links here :)

OOH REALLY? I feel so honoured, ahaha. I look forward to seeing your links!
DeleteOh, I LOVE these prompts. As I've said before, I don't have any real snippets myself (and certainly none that I'm proud of!) but I do know that basically ALL of my snippets will involve food. Because food is life.

Thank you so much, Beth! I do hope you'll share a food snippets, even if you haven't managed to write something you've fallen head over heels in love with.
DeleteI MUST DO THIS. But not right now. Gimme a week or two. THEN. Then shall you learn.
ReplyDeleteJOIN US. I'm looking forward to it -- your writing is always fabulous!
DeleteI'M ACTUALLY TOTALLY GOING TO JOIN IN THIS MONTH. *nods* Because, ya know, one of the prompts is food and Tremolo has a LASAGNA SCENE.
ReplyDeleteI SHALL HOLD YOU TO IT. I knew the food prompt would be irresistible to everyone. The cake scene too, include that one too!
