Epic August Contest

Roni (my favorite fiction groupie) and Julie Cross (another awesome blogger) are giving away a multitude of prizes, tag team style.

This week alone, you can win:

Hannah Moskowitz's Break
Lisa Desrocher's Personal Demons (ARC)
A query or first five pages critique from Fine Print Lit's intern, Gemma Cooper
A query or first five pages critique from Janet Reid's assistant, Meredith Barnes
A query or first five pages critique from agent Suzie Townsend
A query or first five pages critique from editor Brendan Deneen

Enter here. Enter now (or by Sunday, August 8) so that you'll have a chance to win!

Store Your Liquor

Also, Ashley over at As a Matter of Opinion... is giving away a really cute winerack. Wanna see it?


Cute, right? (And, if you're Simon Larter, don't worry... I'll bet you could substitute vodka bottles instead of wine. A vodka rack. What a novel idea!)

So, click here to enter. Or, don't, and I'll have a better chance to win. Muhahahahahahahaaaaaah.












Lastly...

A Little Pimpin' of My Ownself

Please click here and read my latest Louisville New Moms article on Examiner.com. (It's a featured article on the main Louisville page right now. It's so exciting. Well, that might be because I made all my coworkers read it earlier. Hmm. Whatever works!)

Also, if you haven't already, you need to guess whether or not I'm having a boy or a girl. Because my next ultrasound is a week from today... and when I find out if I'm on Team Blue of Team Pink, my vague-contest (no one knows what the prize will be) will end immediatelyspice.

Deets from original post:
Get busy. One guess per entrant. You have to guess the sex correctly to get an entry, unless you tweet or blog about the giveaway, in which case you'll get two entries in spite of getting the gender in question right or wrong.... but let me know in the comments how many entries I should give you, okay?


To simpify your life, you can enter my contest in the comments on this post. Right here, right now. Do it.

LINKAGE! WOOT!

And that is rather a fetching wine rack. Although my preferred storage location for my vodka is the freezer. This will be that much simpler after this week, since we've added a chest freezer in the basement. Lots of room for wokda, da? :)

The blogger as a child. p.s. it's my birthday. And people at Starbucks like me. (I did get this for free, but it was not for the benefit of my blog.)  (Obvi, it was a gift .) There's a cupcake in that box! There's a hazelnut latte in that cup! In other news, I'm having a 100 Followers/ It's my birthday giveaway. You should enter. I'm giving away the following goodies: 1. A $25.00 VISA giftcard. 2. An original poem, which will be hadwritten and autographed on pretty paper. It might be about love, about being a writer, or maybe the winner will be able to choose the topic. We shall see. This giveaway is a bit seatofthepantsspice. 3. A frame from my wedding day. In fact, this very frame: 4. A mystery. The fourth goodie will be a surprise until you open the package! 5.

First Page Blogfester

Preface: TGIF. It has been a day. So. I'm participating in the First Page Blogfest in which writers around the blogosphere post the opening 24 lines of their WIP. (In a "real" book, this is the approximate amount of work that would appear on page 1!) This blogfest is being headed up by Kelly over at Kelly's Compositions . Please check out the other entries and leave them a comment on their work. My own WIP will be featured on Roni's Beta Club next week, and I chose an excerpt from the beginning one chapter one for critque over there, so today I'll give you the true beginning: the opening lines of my prologue. Here goes nothing. My working title is A SAD SONG IN A FLAT KEY Genre: Literary Fictionspice Prologue May 2005      Laurel sits Indian style. She faces the head of her bed and tries to focus on Cafe Terrace at Night, pretending it is priceless artwork instead of a cheap replica. She counts the tables first, and the...

Sarah, Plain and Tall

Seriously, Sarah? I am more irritated with you now than I was when you called Katie Couric perky on Oprah this week (and wasn't that the annoying pot calling the whistling kettle black?) and more irritated than I was when the interview with Katie Couric aired and you couldn't think of one book or magazine that you read on the regular. (Oh, I'm sorry - you chose not to disclos e the titles of books and magazines and newspaper you devour, because Katie Couric was annoying you and treating you like an uneducated inuit.) Maybe you should have just swallowed your ego and mentioned Newsweek. I mean, I'm not suggesting that the cover page would look different if you had, but could you try any harder to alienate the media? I know, I know, they are all evil, with their leftist agendas and loose morals. I understand. It's so difficult when the world won't give a feminist maverick a fighting chance, and harder still when that maverick has been ordered to stay on scrip...
