Just A Little Note About Next Week...

Happy Friday Everyone,


Today is not the beginning of the contest (contest starts MONDAY, January 31, 2011--the last day will be on Friday, February 4, 2011 ), but I wanted to explain how the contest will be run.


Okay, as I’ve been doing all week…I’m going to reveal another/more hint(s) about next week’s contest.


First of all, the title of the contest is: Write By Bethany’s 25+ Followers Celebration.


Second of all, each day is going to have a theme.


Third of all, unless I get a late donor, not every day will have a prize--which means you have to check back each day not only to see if there IS a prize, but to find out what it is and who’s donating it.  ***CORRECTION:  When I originally wrote this, I did NOT have a prize for each day of the contest, but that changed and I just never got around to fixing this until now (edited on 02/05/2011 12:25 a.m.).


The contest will be run this way:


Each day I will request that those entering do the following:


First: I’ll ask for your first name (but please, please, please check the comments and make sure there’s not someone else with the same first name…if there is you can either use a nickname, or put your first name with your middle or last initial).


Second: I’ll need your email address. Without it I have NO way of contacting you to tell you how to claim your prize. So you MUST put in your email address with your comment if you want to enter that day’s drawing (any comment I receive that does NOT have an email address for the person commenting will be disqualified--I'd hate to disqualify anyone, so please be sure to do this each day I announce a drawing).


Then I’ll ask a for a fun comment. For instance, say the theme of the day has something to do with cats (none of the themes have anything to do with cats, so this is just an example). I would say something like:  For Fun: Tell me something funny about cats. Or what do you like about cats?


By the way, I’m only putting each name in ONE time for the drawing, so even if you comment more than once--you’re just entered one time.


Be sure to check the post for each day for theme, information on how to enter, and what the prize is (if there’s a prize). Can’t wait to see everyone’s comments next week!


If you have any questions please either email me or write them in the comment section. I'll be checking back here throughout the weekend as my "real world" obligations allow, so I'll be sure to answer any questions/comments.


Have A Fabulous Friday!

Hi Bethany! I am so happy your blog is doing well. This contest is a splendid idea and a wonderful way to interact with your readers.

By the way, the blog looks beautiful - I really love your soft background.

I'm sorry I've been MIA . . . Chris and I moved from a suburb of Phoenix to Scottsdale and we are unpacking, cleaning furniture, and taking care of all that annoying moving business. We'll talk later!

Take care,

Bernie :)

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

Good Evening One & All, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo & Juliet, "What's in a name?...A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Disney talked about names in Aladdin in the lyrics, "Better get a nom de plume ." (the song, "One Jump"). So, for a writer, what does a nom de plume (or, pen name) say about the author? It could be a different spelling of the author's name, it could be a name that has a significance. They could keep their first name, but change the last, or change both. A pen name is also the name a writer will write under for his or her books. The name that his or her readers will recognize them. The name on the autographs and the one where people will say, "Oh yes, that's so and so, they wrote..." Some authors write under their own names. Others, for a variety of reasons, choose a pen name. What about you? Are you considering a pen name? What have you looked at when thinking of your nom de plume ? For myself, I&

Gregori Celebrates My Birthday

Happy Tuesday All, ****CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED**** In honor of my birthday (that was on Oct. 15th) I am doing TWO give aways! The FIRST one is TODAY!  Today's give away is a copy of Kerrelyn Sparks' Sexiest Vampire Alive . Kerrelyn, being the awesome person that she is, has agreed to give a signed copy of the novel to ONE lucky commenter on my blog. Here's how it's going to work and please read all instructions CAREFULLY. ONE entry PER person : If you choose to email in your entry: Email to this email ONLY .  Your email should state who your favorite vampire is. And no, it does NOT have to be one of Kerrelyn Sparks' characters, but that would be really cool if you DID mention one of hers. If you choose to enter by commenting on my blog: Leave your FIRST name, email address, and what vampire is your favorite. It can be ANY vampire--but like I said, it would be really cool if you mention a Kerrelyn Sparks' vampire. You don't know Kerrelyn Spa
