cj Sez: Authors if you’ve ever thought about your
story becoming a movie, how about a made-for-TV movie?
USAToday best-selling author Barbara Hinske has
such a story. And readers, this is for you, too: Here’s a blog-tour note from Barbara on how you can
help make sure the movie gets the viewers it needs:
“My novel Guiding Emily has been adapted
for the screen by Hallmark. It will air Sept 8, 9ET/8 CT on Hallmark
Movies & Mysteries. I was present for filming again and this will be a
terrific movie. They stuck with the book this time. Hallmark has stepped out of
their usual romance box for this movie. The principal cast and crew are set to
work on a series based on the books. The movie has to do well enough or trend
on twitter for Hallmark to pull this trigger on this. Needless to say, this is
the Holy Grail for an author.
The actor's strike has prevented both Sarah Drew
(Emily) and Eric McCormack (voice of Garth) from promoting the movie and I'm
doing everything I can to get eyeballs on it.
So—please tune every set in your house (heck--on
your street!) to watch on Sept 8.”
GUIDING EMILY is a tale of love, loss, and courage.
Meet Emily and Garth in the GUIDING EMILY movie on Hallmark Movies &
Mysteries Friday, September 8th on @hallmarkmovie

Here are some helpful grammar hints from my personal
library:
The Christmas Grinch notwithstanding, here are
proper usages for Stink, Stank, Stunk . . .
… Stink is the present or future form.
… Stank is the past form, use it when you refer to
some time that has already happened, such as last night, yesterday, or last
week.
… Stunk is the participle form, it means you must
use have, has, or had with it).
… What is that stink I smell?
… Frying that fish will stink up the whole house.
… She sure stank up the kitchen last night with
that burned milk!
… I'm sorry, but the baby's diaper really stank on
the way home yesterday!
… The house hasn't stunk this badly since the day
we found that rat behind the dryer.
… If you hadn't stunk up the bathroom, I wouldn't
have opened the window and let your orchids freeze in the snow.
Then there’s this tricky usage/spelling: Pick up,
Pick-up, Pickup
… Will you pick up my dry cleaning?
… “Have we met” is such a stale pick-up line.
… My pickup truck is red.

“Almost all good writing begins with terrible
first efforts. You need to start somewhere.”
