HERE IS MY PITCH LIVE ENTRY If you want to vote for me, I'm #38. Just leave a vote in the comment section HERE
Just in case anyone is wondering what I'm sitting in front of in the video, it' supposed to be Trillua. I actually picked weeds from my yard, painted them blue (the grass in Trillua is blue) and glue-gunned all of them to the purple "sky"" behind me. I also painted the ThriceMoon on my sky but, unfortunately, my camcorder broke--which meant I had to film this with an iPHone, so I wasn't able to pan out and get a cool shot of my ThriceMoon. Sniff.
I figure since you can't really tell in the video that I actually took a lot of time putting it together, I'd at least write about it. haha. And, lastly, sorry the video keeps brightening and fading. My poor husband tried SO hard to figure out how to fix that, but the video editing software was screwing up and it was after four am and I made him stop and come to bed with me. So, that's my story of Pitch Live...
What language do you want to speak and why?
The answer to this is so obvious I'm not sure why anyone is asking. What is the one language everyone wants to learn? I'll give you some hints. Knowing it makes you seem way more:
1.) intelligent.
2.) poetic
3.) enlightened
4.) inspired
5.) visionary
What's the one language you could speak that can do all that????
If you answered correctly, I'm proud to call you my friend
Oh I never even thought of elvish, great answer! It certainly would be an interesting language to learn :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura. It's funny, my whole family answered Elvish when I asked them this--before they saw the answer on my blog. I think we are all weird.hehe
DeleteOh, well, now arn't we getting all LOTR on us. I didn't even think fictionary here. Crap! Well done, Tamara, well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dani! :)
DeleteExcellent! I am so jealous of your pitch live entry! You did a great job! And you have a cute pup! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. And I saw that you were one of the judges on the Ghostly Blog Hop. I'm so excited that I won!! Totally made my day!!
DeleteI have had to hold my tongue for a week! It's been hard! Congrats, I absolutely loved your story. :D
DeleteSorry you got sick, but at least you got your pitch together. And I guess speaking Klingon just makes one look tough. Probably geeky as well!
ReplyDeleteNaaah, speaking Klingon is awesome! :)
DeleteI thought the language you were describing was Latin! I've never read LOTR, since I stay away from books surrounded by massive amounts of hype, but I may finally crack and attempt it, since it has been around for a long time and isn't just a recent fad.
ReplyDeleteI usually assume books with massive hype have it for a reason, and I want to read them to find out why. Although--every now and then, I'm annoyed by a book and won't read it. Like the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. I have NO clue why those were so hyped. I tried them and couldn't get through the first book. But, that's why there are a million stories/writers--so that everyone can find something they love, right?
DeleteHope you enjoy LOTR!
Great video! I commented on your YouTube channel :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, here's a great article that I wanted to share with you. It's from Agent Carly Watters and it's all about self-editing. Some great pointers in there for any unfinished or nearly-finished manuscripts!

Thanks for the article John! And I commented on yours too. You did a really great job with it! :)
DeleteStomach flues would be better if we all vomited rainbows. I hope you survive the insanity and have fun, I mean, once the flu is gone. I don't know how one can have fun with the flu...unless it does involve rainbows.
ReplyDeleteI like your pitch! I think it would be a bit of a bummer though, falling to earth. Earth can be kind of boring...though if music is banned in your world, maybe earth would be okay.
Thanks for the award!
Allons-y!
You're welcome, Jack. I'm actually feeling much better. Finally. And yes, I think it would suck to land on Earth. I mean, in my book Trillua sounds much better. BUT, oddly enough, you hit the music thing dead on. They have music in Trillua, but barely. There's not music the way we know it. It's all very old-fashioned. So, when Luc comes to Earth, one of the things he loves is the music. :)
DeleteLove your blog! Your pitch was great. This story sounds like it would be on the top of my stack of books. I 'd love to read this.
ReplyDeleteAaaawww, that's really sweet. Hopefully one of these days it will be a book! :) Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteGreat choice! I was thinking fairies *hides face* ...does that count? :/
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon and thanks for participating in the meme!
I think fairies would be an awesome choice. Elves, fairies...it all works, right?
DeleteLove the pitch! You have such great energy and you go through it with so much confidence!
ReplyDeleteOne small (unrelated) criticism: I'm going blind trying to read the red text on the orange background, here. My Eyes! ;)
I know, right! I CANNOT figure out how to change the color. I can change the damn text color on EVERYTHING but the text in the posts. It's quite annoying. I messed with it for like an hour one night. Maybe I should change the orange though, just thought of that. haha Thanks for the tip!
DeleteP.S. So, I just went to try to change the background color and the first thing that came up was Page Text, which was NOT on the blog the other night, so obviously something was malfunctioning. Anyway, I changed it super-easily this time and it's much better now, so I'm glad you pointed it out. :)
DeleteTerrific language choice :) And congrats on your live entry. I think it looks great!
ReplyDeleteClever! I chose Klingon, but I give you a round of applause or Elvish!
