Contest and such.

So today is just business. Contest, an award and I was tagged.  Yeah!

Check out --Writing it Out --Beth Revis is celebrating her book deal! Congrats Beth! I can't even start to tell you how awesome the prizes are.  There are (2) prize packs --one for writers and one for readers.  Just go and check it out!

I remembered hehe I remembered who tagged me. Sorry my mind has been on revising so it is not quite clear. Thanks for the tag Jackee!
Here is what I have to do I have to say a bunch of things about me then tag a few people. I actually kept a couple that Jackee had--I felt the same way:)  I also changed hate to dislike.  I just think hate is a strong word. Oh and some of the things I like I really love.

I like chocolate.
I like seeing my husband in the kitchen sooking homemade tomato sauce/gravy.  His gravy is the best.
I like walking on the beach early in the morning.
I like shopping without my kids.
I like to write new ideas and watch them grow.  I stare at them like a proud parent.
I like opening a new book.
I like the smell of a new book when you open it.
I like to plan things (following through is another story).
I like Italian food.
I like going to the spa.
I like running when I can do it but only with the Wii.
I like traveling to see new places and revisit old ones.
I like pretty boys. You know this already. ;)

I love the sounds of my children's laughter and watching them sleep.

I dislike when people invade my personal space (close talkers).
I dislike being judged unfairly.
I dislike when people say that YA books are not written well and are not hard to write. Trust me, I have a whole post on this one.
I dislike when people say that stay at home moms have it easy. Don't get me started.
I dislike coffee.  Yes, it's true.
I dislike facial hair. Women or men--though granted there are a few that look good with it. Men, that is.
I dislike fingernails on chalkboards.
I dislike being taken advantage of.

I (secretly) like being alone when it is quiet.

I love to write.

O.k. that's 6 people but I thought all six deserved it. Everyone really deserves it but I had to narrow it down. Boy, I bent the rules on that one. I guess all your inspiring comments on writing chapter 1 and bending the rules really took to my heart. Thanks for all your comments on writing a great Chapter 1.  They were very helpful.  I also want to let you know I have slowed down on my commenting.  I'm trying to keep up to visit all my favorite blogs and even find some new ones.  I just have a lot of revising and critiquing to do.  So I am taking the day off tomorrow--maybe.  If I come up with a brillant post I may have to put it out there.

Have a great day!
