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!
Tristina Wright, because she is an amazing cheerleader for a little rag-tag group of ladies called the WrAHMs (Write at Home Moms) I am offering 2 query critiques from queries left in the comments section of this post (leave your email address as well)
I really appreciate Tristina. 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!

Awesome pick! Tristina is so generous and encouraging--she inspires me!
Dude. Way to make me cry first thing in the morning.
Thank you. A thousand times, thank you.
Tris is pure awesomeness!!! I don't know what I'd do without her to bounce ideas off of...plus, her writing? Its pretty much amazing to the core. <3
Tristina is brilliantly funny, energetic and talented, and I know it's just a matter of weeks before she'll be posting about landing an agent. So well-deserved!
Best person to pick for this. Tris is the best.
