Well, well, well, I hit the big one. Wa-hoo! party time. Turn up the music, dance and break out the martinis. I really wish we could all meet and celebrate. Why is reaching 100 followers so important? I don't know it just is. It may be because I still can't believe that 100 people think I'm that interesting or think that I can call myself a writer. When I first started, I thought no one would want to even look at my blog--except for Kelly (Kelly Compositions--who is awesome and told me to start this.) Thanks Kelly!
I guess I thought people might laugh at my work and tell me I have no business even trying to pursue publishing anything I wrote but you guys have told me differently. So I believe you and trust me I have a fire that is burning in my gut to keep going.
You want to know about the contest, right? Oh yeah, the contest. Since I'm so not qualified to host a writing contest (which I think are really cool), I'll be giving away some great stuff.
Before I tell you the prizes let me just say I want to change the word followers to something different. I'm not sure to what yet and if you have suggestions please tell me.
Right prizes--it's killing you isn't it.
O.k. So I have never done this before so I tried to pick up ideas from other contests.
Are you ready--
The winner will receive:
1. Your choice of one of these fine prints (8" x 10") from Kaitlyn McCane (Check out her blog, website, and ETSY site). She is a super cool illustrator and her work is adorable. I thought one of these could decorate your favorite writing spot (I'm an interior designer hence the decoration).
Option 1
Option 2
2. To help get your reader "hooked"--You will receive a copy of Hooked by Les Edgerton.
3. I'm also including a $10 gift card to Barnes and Noble or Amazon (your choice).
4. To help cure your munchies --a bag of M & M's (dark or regular your choice).
Well, what do you think? You even get to choose some of your prizes.
