Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine is a creative retelling of Cinderella. As a baby, Ella was cursed by a fairy to obey any orders that were given to her, no matter what they were. So when her mother dies and her father remarries, Ella must live with her stepsisters, Hattie and Olive. Quickly, Hattie discovers that Ella will obey her and uses that knowledge to her advantage. Instead of being treated as an equal, Ella is forced to be her stepfamily's servant.
Ella meets Prince Char. Together, they have exciting adventures. Slowly, they fall in love, but she knows that if she marries him, an enemy of the throne could command her to do something awful to him. She struggles to protect him and break the curse, but it seems impossible with such a burden as hers. Will she ever gain the freedom required to be with her true love?

While tweeting this week, I found a few nuggets. I also asked for some recommendations from the fine folks on VerlaKay’s board. Here are the results from both fishing expeditions!
Megan Bickel’s Blog – The Write-At-Home-Mom – This is a good blog for finding nuggets of info in chewable bites! She has writing advice and even contest info.
Debbie Maxwell’s Blog – Writing While the Rice Boils — I found this blog while reading one of Jill Corcoran’s tweets. (I follow her and other agents on twitter.) I read an interview, a couple of other posts and then saw one on THREES. (if you read my blog last week, you’ll know why that caught my eye!) Anyway, good blog. Tons of great info for beginners and more advanced writers.
Jennifer R. Hubbard’s Livejournal – Jennifer shares writing info, helpful hints and inspiring challenges to her readers.
Gail Carson Levine’s website – She wrote a little book called Ella Enchanted. Ever heard of it? Great from an author who been there, done that, and still doing it.
Those are enough for today. Slow down. Take little bites. I’ll post more next weekend!
(FTR - I did not receive any compensation for sharing the above links and info. I am not endorsing nor conding anything you find within the pages of the websites listed above. Check them out and make your own decisions.)
