Revised post
Last year, the novel Saving Sam was released just after Heroes' Day, a Jamaican holiday which celebrates the island's seven national heroes. This year, I'll be doing a mix-and-match tour for the Island Adventure Romance series (see side bar) and that will commence on October 20 (Heroes' Day) and run to the end of the month.

In 2013, several writers
shared some heart-warming posts in which they wrote about real-life heroes. If you
participated last year, you're welcome to write about another person who has
touched your life in some way or create a flash fiction or opinion piece.
It's easy to participate. On November 3, post
approximately 300 words about someone who has encouraged or inspired you. Your
hero may be a friend, spouse, teacher or writing buddy. I know it may be hard
to stay within the allotted word count, however the shorter your post, the
better the chances of it being read all the way through. Bloggers on the run
appreciate concise posts.
Up for the challenge? Add your name to the linky
list below.

That sounds like fun! Signed up.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to that, Diane.
DeleteI left a comment, but I think it vanished. It was just me saying that my husband is my hero. He's suffered greatly yet never lost his sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteI think my comment vanished too, Joylene. Unless I'm logged in under my name, I tend to lose the comment. Now it says 'Google Account' so I' m gonna copy and post it again. In that comment I said, you gotta respect someone who has suffered much and yet still has a sense of humor. Most of us would complain in that scenario.
DeleteI may not hit three hundred words, but I can do that!
ReplyDeleteI know you men are less likely to go high on the word count. Last year makes me eager to see what people choose to write about this time.
DeleteI LIKE this blogfest... all signed up. It's choosing a person that's going to be muy dificil. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I'll see what I've got going and see if I can sign up for this. I'm sure it will be a blast.
ReplyDeleteHope you can join us, Angela.
DeleteI can't believe that a year has passed already. Seems like just yesterday when we were busy with this blog hop...
ReplyDeleteAll signed up, Joy!
Too true, Michelle. Came close to forgetting about it, but wanted to do it because there were some really good posts last year.
DeleteI remember when this came around last year and I was up to my eyeballs so couldn't participate. I'll give it a whirl this year.
ReplyDeleteGlad you can take part this year, Lee.
DeletePlease remind us though. I've been so forgetful lately.
ReplyDeleteI will, Clarissa. Unfortunately, I know how that memory thing goes.
ReplyDeleteLove this blogfest idea. What a great thing. I'm trying to brainstorm who I want to write about. That way I know I'm prepared before I sign up. Sounds truly fantastic. It's so important to remember our heroes.
ReplyDeleteYou are going full steam Joy!
ReplyDeleteI did about 250-300 words. It's all locked up and ready to go! And I put the button in my sidebar.
