Are You Using the Wrong Slang?

Good Monday all writers and readers,

Hope your New Year is going well and that you didn't make resolutions but began healthier, happier habits!

I have a new blog post up this morning on using slang in your writing. Are you incorrectly dating yourself or your characters? Give a look and add this to the checklist for you and your betas! And readers, something to consider when asked to review!

https://tinyurl.com/y9q96jj9.

Keeping things short today. Look for more new stuff and a live chat is coming to my author page.

Read and write often,
Yours always, Between the Lines,
Sherry

Letters to Santa 2/4

Good Monday morning!

Continuing my Letters to Santa, this week's is actually LAST week's. I lost internet for several days due to the storm last week so I'm behind. To catch up I will post this week's letter on Wednesday.

For now, here is my 2nd Letter to Santa, Bless the Selfless Ones. Read it and see if you know the people on the list. There are no links because this is not promotional.
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/dear-...

Also, doing a giveaway this month. If you haven't jumped into my Evening Bower series yet, then do it this month. I'm giving away FREE copies of the prequel, The Gypsy Thorn for FOUR DAYS ONLY. From Dec 21-24. Get your copy, give it as a gift. Spread the love!

More later this week. Thanks for reading!
Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry

Dear Santa, Bless the Mentors

Good December morning! Hard to believe we are already into the Christmas season. Keeping with that theme, I'm starting a new series for these Mondays before Christmas where I ask Santa to thank some people who have made big differences in my life.
This week, it's those people who mentored me and changed the course of my direction for the better.
Come by...you might know some of those on my list.
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/dear-...

Next week, a new letter to Santa.

I successfully completed National Novel Writing Month with over 59,000 words. I'm very proud of myself. How did you do?

Be careful shopping and don't forget to give extra to charity this year. Many need your help.

Until next time,
Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry
