Dust It Off Bloghop: Excerpt

I'm back with the second day of Theresa Paolo and Cortney Pearson's three part Dust It Off Bloghop.

Before I share my excerpt, I'd like to thank everyone who read and commented on Thursday's post. The positive response Kyra and I have gotten has been overwhelming, and we're now giving serious consideration to reviving the story.

For those of you who were wondering, Kyra and I wrote a character each. Kyra wrote Tori, and I wrote Caitlin, and we alternated a chapter each.

Now without further ado, onto today's post.

Post your favorite excerpt (300-350 words)

For my excerpt I've gone with a girly moment between Tori and Caitlin. Enjoy!

Dust It Off Bloghop: Pitch

I'm here today with the first post in Theresa Paolo and Cortney Pearson's three part DustIt Off Bloghop.

The aim of the bloghop is to talk about a shelved manuscript, that for one reason or another has been put on the back burner.

I have the honour of doing this bloghop with one of my close friends, Kyra Lennon. Kyra and I started work on this story back in 2006, and wrote nine chapters, before other projects, real life, and a whole heap of other stuff got in the way.

Now we're "dusting it off" for this bloghop. After that, who knows what the future holds for this manuscript?

The idea of today's post is to write a 1-2 sentence pitch (Great way to practice pitches) about the shelved WIP.

Here is what Kyra and I came up with for ours:

For best friends Caitlin and Tori, their first acting job out of Uni opens up a whole new world for them – unfortunately, it wasn’t the world they were expecting. When the strains of adult life and tangled relationships threaten to ruin their friendship, they are forced to take a look at what’s really important.
