Okay guys, it's that time. Becca and I are looking ahead to our MAY 14th book launch for The Emotion Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide To Character Expression, and we absolutely, positively need help to make this the biggest, most awesome event ever.
So, I'm breaking out the big guns.
Becca and I are going to do something very unique for our launch, something we've wanted to try for a long time, but have been too swamped to take on. Now, using the excitement that has built up around our book, we're finally going to bring it about. And we NEED YOUR HELP!
We've held some big events in the past and we hope this will lead to something bigger than ever before. We need to plan guest posts, find bookmark helpers, arrange for launch day support and more. And to make it work--really, really work--we can't do it alone. So what do you think? Will you help us with our launch?
Still need some convincing? Well then perhaps you need...
Omg...THE CUTENESS. I can barely stand it!
Seriously now--you guys have always been great about spreading the word and supporting us. I hope that you'll be willing to help out once again, because in addition to the usual launch festivities...
We've got a SUPER SECRET PLAN in the works--so secret in fact, we don't want to spill the details out here in the open. . :) But for our big plan to work, we need people like you.
What?
Some of you require MORE convincing?
Wow, I am seriously impressed. Three words: WILL OF STEEL.
Okay, people--I didn't want to have to do this. I figured, you know, a bit of puppy eyes and we'd all be good to go.
YOU GIVE ME NO CHOICE.
Sure, you resisted the puppy eyes, but can you resist...A BASKET OF PUPPIES?
Look at them. Puppies. IN A BASKET. *dies*
Surely I have ensnared your commitment to the cause now!
There are a multitude of ways you could lend a hand. So if you're interested in our SUPER SECRET LAUNCH PROJECT, or would like to get involved another way, just fill out this quick FORM.
Puppy eye power & all joking aside, you people are the best! This book was written because Musers asked for it, and we want to do right by you as we launch it. Any support you can give is much appreciated.

Boy you guys really hit below the belt. Puppy eyes? How can we say no?
How could we say no even without the puppy eyes?
Puppy eyes are too hard to resist :)
I've signed up for someone's book launch on the 14th, but I'll help any other way I can.
The second photo was definitely the cutest. I'm all yours!!!
Have always enjoyed your postings. You didn't need to bring out the big guns--oh I mean big eyes--to recruit my help.
I didn't need to see the puppy eyes to be in!
You got me! I am looking for the form, but cannot find it. I'll do what ever you gals need. Is the form still here????
This is awesome! Can't wait.
I'm SO excited for you! YEAH!
I am TOTALLY on board for anything and everything you need. My blog is yours! :)
I've never been able to resist puppy dog eyes. Can't wait to be a part of the fun.
You guys! Such awesome support! Thank you for trusting me and asking for more info on the SECRET PROJECT! It is going to be incredibly awesome and I can't wait to share the details.
Thanks too to everyone offering to help out with our book. You are all fabulous!!
Hi Robyn! Yes the form should be at the bottom of the post. It's a embedded link in the red paragraph at the end, rather than a form attached to the post itself. Let me know if you have trouble!

Of course I'll help! Whatever you need.
I was debating, but then you broke out the basket of puppies. You guys are evil.
I can't wait!
I don't know how much traffic my humble blog can bring you, but I'll do what I can.
You had me at Puppy #2!
I'm so excited about the book!
You guys are so great! I'm super pumped about this. Granted, Angela DID resort to some pretty underhanded tactics. NEVER would I have stooped to using puppy eyes. Babies, maybe. Bunnies, or possibly even KITTENS. But puppy eyes? She is diabolical.
I'm in all the way. Happy to help however I can. You two do so much for all of us, how could we say no?
I'm in as long as you don't send me any puppies. :) My pet limit has been met already. :)
*squeezes all the puppies and clicks on the form* BRUTAL! :D
Puppy #2 almost kills me. Can't wait to see your big plans for the big day!!
Awwwwwwwwww such cute pics. How can anybody say no to you guys. x
I'm so glad nobody saw the "Aww, puppies!" face I just made. ;) Of course I'll help!
Oh my goodness, who can resist the puppy eyes? Of course I'll help! I'll fill out the form :)
How can I resist the puppy eyes??? :)
More than happy to help where I can!
The puppy eyes are kinda cute, but I've never been a real sucker for puppies.
Now the words "super secret" ...
You've got me there.
YES of course!. Let me know how you organize it so I can organize mine to be a success, like yours. (Sorry, but I couldn't resist.)
I'll do what I can. You guys are great. I love this blog.
Can't...resist...puppy eyes...must...fill...out...form...
Oh jeez....how can I say no?! The puppy eyes are so cute!

I can't resist either the puppy eyes or you. Count me in.
You guys rock!;)) Not sure what it consists of but I'll do my best to help :)
P-U-P-P-Y Ya got me.

This blog is priceless. I'll do all I can to help promote the book even though I don't have a huge following of my own. Every little bit counts, right???
Puppy eyes? Really? Wow, you guys play rough. Ok, I give. What can I do to help?
The second puppy? *dies from cuteness overload*
*what's left of my brain fills out form*
That is so totally unfair to pull out the puppy eyes. OkayOkay. I give.
OMG I can't resist the eyes! Though I'd help regardless. :)
Gorgeous photos, awww!
I won't be able to participate but I'm tweeting this post so hopefully you will get some of my followers involved :-) Good luck and I'm sooooo looking forward to getting your book!
How could anybody possibly resist with those puppy eyes. I'm on board :)
~Sarah
My Puppy and I will help!
You had me at puppy #1! I filled out the form. I've already checked my schedule and May 14th is set aside for your launch. I look forward to helping out.

PUTTING WORDS DOWN ON PAPER
the puppies were an unnecessary pain to subject me to - when I was happy to help anyway. let me know what I can do.
Thank you all--we are overwhelmed by the support! This is much less scary now knowing you are all on board with us!
Angela
Puppy eyes? I can't resist. Though, I LOVE The Bookshelf Muse too much NOT to help!!
