A
smile. An encouraging word. A thoughtful gesture. Each day people
interact with us, help, and make our day a bit brighter and full. This is
especially true in the Writing Community.
Take a second to think about writers you
know, like the critique partner who works with you to
improve your manuscript. The writing friend who listens,
supports and keeps you strong when times are tough. The
author who generously offers council, advice and inspiration
when asked.
So many people take the time to make us
feel special, don't they? They comment on our blogs, re-tweet our posts, chat
with us on forums and wish us Happy Birthday on Facebook.
Kindness ROCKS!
To commemorate the release of their book
The
Emotion Thesaurus, Becca and Angela at The Bookshelf Muse are hosting
a TITANIC Random Act Of Kindness BLITZ. And because I think KINDNESS is contagious,
I'm participating too!
I’ve decided to blitz Peggy
Eddleman.
I picked Peggy because she is first my number one writing partner. And Second, she's a great friend. Without her, I wouldn’t be the consistent writer I am today. She’s has encouraged me more times than I can say because I’m pretty much a twit that loses writing confidence ALL THE TIME! But Peggy pushes me. She keeps me going. And I wish I could give her the world. But today I’ll be giving her...(insert drum roll)
Can you feel the tension as you wait for me to reveal my gift?
Without further ado, I am offering Peggy Eddleman:
FREE photography for LIFE! (HA…lame. She already has that).
So I will also be giving her a gift card from HARTS. Our favorite little gas station.

PEGGY
EDDLEMAN http://peggyeddleman.blogspot.com/. If you have a
minute, please stop in and tell her how awesome she is!
Do you know someone special that you'd like
to randomly acknowledge?
Don't be shy--come join us and
celebrate! Send them an email, give them a shout out, or show your appreciation
in another way. Kindness makes the world go round. :)
Becca and Angela have a special
RAOK
gift waiting for you
as well, so hop on over to The Bookshelf Muse to pick it up.
Have you ever participated in or been the
recipient of a Random Act Of Kindness? Let me know
in the comments!
Totally agree about Peggy. She just rocks.
ReplyDeletethat's very sweet! The writing community is so great and definitely deserves a thank you.
ReplyDeleteHarts! Haha... a gas station gift card! That is so PG :). Oh Peggy, thou art as lovely as a summer's day! How oft I have I enjoyed spooning thee, I cannot say. GO TEAM PEGS!
ReplyDeleteSo lucky to have a writer friend such as Peggy!
ReplyDeleteI recieve random acts of kindness all the time! I think the population is way more kind than we give them credit for.
This is a fantastic idea! Something tells me that your one of those random acts of kindness people ALL the time.
ReplyDeleteGood call Erin.
ReplyDeletePeggy is an inspiration to us all :oD
Yay for Peggy love! She is awesome. And so are you Erin! :)

ReplyDeletePeggy is awesome and I can't wait to read her book next year! Even though I kind of knew Peggy before from chance encounters at your house through the years, I'm so happy I had the chance to get to know her much better rooming at the conference!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeletePhotography AND a gas card? I think you guys are made for each other. :)
And apparently Jessie wants in on some of that...I'm just sayin'
Peggy is the Bombs Breath for sure! She's way at the tippity top of coolest people for me. I totally have a friend crush on her. I could go on, but if I really started getting into all the specific reasons we'd be here all day and I really want her to be able to go spend her Hart's gift card.
ReplyDeleteYay for Peggy! How can you top that?
ReplyDeleteRandom acts of kindness rocks. So much more fun than random acts of violence.
ReplyDeletePeggy is awesome!! And this idea is really cool.
ReplyDeleteI certainly enjoy my visits over at Peggy's blog. The pictures of cookies make me drool sometimes and I have to clean up the mess before someone spots it, but she's a wonderful person. And a wonderful choice for a RAOK blitz :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm still jealous that you got to go to LDSStorymakers while I was trying to put my arm back on… ;P
ReplyDeleteAnd the world needs A LOT more RAOKs.
I love kindness :) Peggy is luck she has a friend like you!
ReplyDeleteAwww, Erin! I'm blushing! Is this why you would never email me back about who you were ROAKBlitzing? This is seriously so sweet! If you only knew how often you're the one pushing me! And HARTS, to boot! So perfect!
ReplyDeleteWanna go get a Diet Coke?
And teary thanks to all your commenters, too. :'o)
ROAK Rocks.
Peggy's pretty awesome and judging from the photos you took at Storymakers, that's a great gift.
ReplyDeleteI love Pegasus! Excellent choice, Erin! :D
ReplyDeleteYay Peggy! Congrats! :D Peggy is so awesome.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! That is awesome and totally not lame, your photography is one of a kind:)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice (I could be biased, but, you know). :)
ReplyDeleteAw, this is so sweet. :) People around me have given me so much, and I'm thankful for them all! Thanks for sharing who helped you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool blogfest! Congrats to Peggy.
