Nancy S. Thompson: Aimee Jodoin

Saturday, October 27, 2012

It’s Day 8 and I’m getting my second wind, even on a Saturday. Are you with me?

Today, I have the pleasure of visiting Aimee Jodoin’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman for an interview. When I finished revising the first draft of The Mistaken, I reached out for critique partners. The first was not a good experience, but the second one was, for I found Aimee, and I see her every time I read through my novel, smiling when I remember each suggestion she made. And they’re all still in there, each and every one. I was so excited when we were reunited here on Blogger earlier this year.

As you know, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark. Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy. Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.

Monday on Day 9, I’ll discuss a humbling experience over at Heather M. Gardner’s The Waiting is the Hardest Part. Come see the important lesson Heather helped teach me.

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Seven

Okay, on the down slope now. One more week to go. Whew!

For Day 7, I got to stretch my literary wings a bit over at LG Smith’s Bards and Prophets. My topic there: killing off major characters in a novel. Shakespeare wasn’t afraid to do it, and neither was I. LG—or Luann, as I’ve come to know her—is one of my long-time followers. She’s been coming back to visit for nearly the entire two years I’ve been here on Blogger. And this lady is whip-smart, like fine-literature-smart, which is why it was a stretch for me to write a post reflecting on similarities with the Immortal Bard, William Shakespeare, someone Luann holds in the highest esteem. I sure hope I lived up to her standards.

I know you won’t forget, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark. Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy. Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.

For Day 8 tomorrow—yes, that's a Saturday—I’ll be over at Aimee Jodoin’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman for yet another interview. I hope you’re not getting too tired of me.
