They also had a section in the forums where you could post a portion of your WIP and get feedback from other writers. And because I enjoy torture, I posted a couple of my WIP's. The feedback I received was helpful. So between that and the contest I took second in over at Critique_This_WIP, I should have a mighty fine first couple of chapters. Yay me!!!

I'll be sure to post which one is the truth in a day or two. But until then, you're welcome to try and guess.

Wow. Hard to guess. I think your middle name is Anabelle.
you're totally hot PLUS you're friends w/the Tart, so I'm going w/#3 being the truth. LOL! And thanks for the lovely props. Lurv my boa, dahling~ ;p
Thank you, RaShelle!
I'm going with the Burger King one.
I think you 2on you sixth grade spelling bee. The conference was fab - awesome that you made new friend.
I have no idea... Darn. They all seem plausible... I don't see an outrageous lie anywhere!
I'm glad you had a great and fulfilling experience. Less truth, more lies: that's where it's at these days ;-)
You are a fabulous, accomplished liar. I'm so proud of you. All of them seem plausible, which is exactly what you want to do when you are writing lies...er...writing fiction. But for the record, I think you were a cheerleader.
DEZMOND - Thanks Dez. You are the coolest movie blogger on the planet. Just sayin!!! And Alex is a great creative li- I mean writer. He deserved the award. ;)
Angie - *smiles sweetly*
Leigh - LOL - thanks for calling me HOT, that's what the girl at the club said last night too. ROFL. =D And you deserve the props!!
Alex - Your welcome! Your novel sounds amazing. Can hardly wait to read it. That took alot of lyin- creativity. LOL =D
Mary - I am a great spellerererer. ;D Wasn't the conferece great? I agree.
Melissa - Heh Heh!!! I'm a natural. Ask the kids in my sixth grade class about the huge earthquake I was in. It was a doozy. ;-)
James - Ah, really. I thought it was complete and total honesty. C'mon, ya sound a little cynical.
Melanie - Thank you. Thank you. I'd like to thank my family. The six hundred times we moved. It allowed me to reinvent myself over and over and over again. Mwhahahahaha. :)
Hi RaShelle,
Thank you for the award!
I'll be sure to link to you soon.
From someone who speaks creative untruths,
John Smith
Okay, I'm voting for #2 simply because that's my MC's name and I've never met anyone with that name spelled with 1 n. I'm probably shooting myself in the foot here, but dreams can come true, no?
Congrats on the award :)
The writing convention sounds pretty great. Congrats on the award.
John Smith - Your welcome. I enjoy your blog. =D
Rosie - Dreams come true all of the time!!!
Cheeseboy - The convention was incredible. And thanks. ;D
Hey, girl! I think #7 is the lie. Hee, hee. I also LOVE what you've done to the place. Paris, Paris, Paris! (I usually read in Bloglines so I didn't see the new decorating until now.) I have a whole romantic YA novel set in Paris. Unfortunately, it's never been subbed . . .
Great truths I can't believe you were offered a job as a stripper hahah.
Wasn't being a cheerleader fabulous! I so miss it
Happy Monday!
RaShelle Anabelle, I don't think so (I'd better not get this one wrong LOL). I'll go for Stripper (not that I frequent them). Many women are offered jobs as dancers by some scumbag. I'll go with door number 4, only because I worked at a BK for three days before walking away. I felt ridiculous wearing that goofy striped shirt. Only Hot Dog on a Stick offered worse costumes for their employees.

Sadly I had too many work/family/etc obligations to participate in the Con live, but in looking at a number of the posts, it looked like a great time with loads of cool insights and advice.
As for your "lies", I have no idea but think you compiled a very intriguing list. I look forward to the answers. :)
Kimberely - Ha, you are soooo right. LOL
Teenage Bride - I was a cheerleader in ninth grade and it was awesome!!!! =D
Stephen Tremp - The fast food joys. McDonalds was my thang!!! Yeah, I couldn't have done the Hot Dog on a Stick thing. Those that do are brave, sexy kids. LOL
Okie - Sorry you missed WriteOnCon, but that's the cool thing about them leaving it online. You really don't have ti miss it!!! YAY!!!
