Facebook Cartoon Profile Pictures

I saw a post on the news feed from Christopher Miles, a "writer-net-friend" of mine from an ACFW critique group I belonged to.

It said:
Change your facebook profile picture to a cartoon character from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until Monday December 6, there should be no human faces on facebook, but an invasion of memories! This is a campaign against violence on children.


Well, Chris is such a cool cat, I had to jump in LOL
 
But, unlike this Cartoon Network generation,it was difficult for me to think of a character from my childhood of the top of my head. I mean, sure there is there are the classics: Flinstones, Jetsons, Scooby, but, you know me, I wanted some butt-kicking, rockin female.
 
I guess there is the staple Wonder Woman, but this one post has sent me on a quest to find cool chick cartoon characters. Wanna help? Just post here. There are way more than I knew or could remember! Come on men, I know you know some chick superheroes!
 
Just a couple I found:

BLACK WIDOW

                                                                  

ISIS My favorite Saturday morning show as a girl!

SPIDERWOMAN (Did you even know about her? I am stoked!)

                                                                         AND MY FAVORITE DISNEY PRINCESS: JASMINE

What/who are your favs? Post here or better yet post a bunch on your blog!!!

Anthology Submissions

Thanks to you all, my story is in top shape, and I submitted it for consideration to an anthology Saturday night.
It's in God's hands now! :)

[I have written a wraith, half-orc, and two-headed dwarfs in. So much fun!]

The choices for title came down to SUICIDE REDEEMED and LATITUDES OF HOPE.

I really liked Latitudes of Hope, but I felt 'Latitudes' was a measurement term bound to earth not space. So I'll save that for another day and the title becomes: SUICIDE REDEEMED.

Synopsis:
The short story tells of the redemption of a Vampire, Vin, who "committed vamp suicide" a century ago by jumping into outerspace and floating, alone.
Dr. Shed, an evil scientist and paranormal medicine man, is gathering species with all types of abilities and abnormalities to build himself a paranormal army. One of his prized possessions is, Vin the vampire, a creature Shed found floating in space.

The River, a place where paranormal creatures find Jesus and redemption, have sent a team of their elite to rescue the paranormal creatures Shed has kidnapped, and claim them from his evil control. The River and Vin have a connection. Her name is, Sardonyx, Vin's mentor in Christ and life-long love.

They all meet in a massive war to free the captive creatures, including an attempt to free Vin from his self-made, suicidal tendencies.

I am sincerely indebted to those of you who, last minute, edited my story! Happy Writing!

CONVICTION ~ CINEMA SOUND OFF with Lynn Rush and KM Wilsher

CONVICTION

FANDANGO SYNOPSIS: When her older brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell) is convicted of murder and sentenced to life in 1983, Betty Anne Waters (Hilary Swank) vows to get the conviction overturned. Beginning an 18-year quest to exonerate Kenny, Betty Anne puts herself through college and law school. With the help of her best friend (Minnie Driver), Betty Anne pores over piles of suspicious evidence and retraces the steps that led to Kenny's arrest in the hope of finally winning her brother's freedom.

KM’s Review:

There aren't a lot of movies out there right now that catch my attention and make me want to head over to the theater. I didn't think I would enjoy CONVICTION either, its a dry movie season this year, few good movies.

That said, you must go see this movie. I am pleasantly surprised! I guess it only playing at a few theaters, so look it up and make the drive wherever you can to see this movie.

I believed Hillary Swank in this role, more than some of the roles she's received awards for. Minnie Driver gave an outstanding performance (when does she not? :) Sam Rockwell? I haven't seen him in any role better suited for him. . .the cast is amazing.

Sometimes movies based upon true stories can be slow. The editing and directing of CONVICTION weaves this tale in a way that always keeps you guessing and at the right moments makes you erupt in tears and goosebumps.

KM's rating:

I won't hesitate to give CONVICTION five tickets:

5 tickets. A must see. Buy a ticket for everyone.
