Oh my gosh. So sorry folks! Just go to the green button that says REPLY TO CARYN) at the bottom of the update then scroll down until you see the cover of my book Mama’s Goin’ Backpacking! Press and voila, you will be at my contest site. Again, SORRY! Last update for sure.
Sorry folks, some confusion by some of my peeps requires me to add to my update. The redone chapters can be seen if you hover and click on ’Mama’s Goin’ Backpacking’ at the top of this email. You’ll be taken to my Contest Page and the READ tab I referred to in the earlier Update. Sorry for confusion!
Hey everyone who’s been supporting me through this contest journey (my first!) Just wanted to catch you up.
So...first of all, I’ve just redone my ’This Ain’t a Spa!’ chapter, making it SO much better with the help of my wonderful writing critique group. Please take a look under the READ tab and let me know via the review tab what you think of it and any other chapters you read. OR leave me a note through my Contact Me page on my travel website (https://www.cometravelwithme.ca/contact-me).
Though this contest is over (and again, big congrats to the winners), there’s still a SLIM, SLIM chance of getting my book noticed and potentially published by Inkshares. Members of this site have been asked to nominate their favorite submissions, so...cross your fingers for me please.
After June, however, it’s all over but the crying and I’ll be on my own to finish editing and look for an agent. If you’d like to keep tabs on me, please go to my website link above and subscribe to my monthly Newsletter. It’s free, OF COURSE, and you won’t be bothered with umpteen emails other than the monthly Newsletter that will give you links to blogs I write, new chapters of this book as I post them, and all sorts of other fun travel-related stuff.
Hope to see you there! Thanks so much again for all your support!
Thank you all very much for the support during the Inkshares Contest. Sadly (for me), my book didn’t make the cut, but happily for many others, their book’s did. A huge congratulations to all the winners!
There’s still a chance that Inkshares may be interested in publishing my book. Over this next year, they will choose several more to publish without set pre-orders, so my fingers are still crossed. Through this process, though, I’ve been very lucky to have met a great Facebook Group - the Virtual Travel Writing Group - a group of people who support each others’ writing through kind critiques. To that end, I’ve revised my 1st two chapters on this site and would love to hear what you think of the new versions.
Thank you all again so much for your support as I go through this writing journey.
Hey all you wonderful followers of my book! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter of Mama’s Goin’ Backpacking I posted (Boys, Beans & Bad Beds) - it was fun to remember, reminisce, and (w)rite about that little adventure. Thank you for your comments on it and on the first 3 chapters - your reviews and ’likes’ (etc.) are what will be counted toward this Writing Contest, so, again, THANK YOU.
As part of this travel writing journey, I’ve been inspired to build my very own website that will focus on inspiring travel and providing travel-related tips. I’ve posted a new travel blog about me and my new FIANCE’s (yes, I’m engaged!!!) trip to northern British Columbia. I’d love you to check it out at www.cometravelwithme.ca. If you enjoy what you see, you can subscribe to receive a monthly newsletter that will tell you about new blogs, travel tips, update you on the progress of ’Mama’s Goin’ Backpacking,’ and much more. Thanks very much - I so look forward to connecting with you there!
Hey, my wonderfully supportive armchair-travelling friends! I wanted to say thank you again. You have brought me to almost 100 (wow!) followers in the Writing Contest I’ve entered through Inkshares. I’ve just uploaded Chapter #4 – Beans, Boys, and Bad Beds onto my Inkshares site (https://www.inkshares.com/books/mama-s-goin-backpacking) – hope you enjoy.
Reviews are particularly helpful toward my contest ratings (😊). Leave a comment in the REVIEW tab of that site if you have time and SHARE the site with friends you think will enjoy it as well. Thank you again.
