I’ve got a giveaway for all you blended families or readers of any kind.
I’m giving away the book Summer Breeze by Catherine Palmer and Gary Chapman. The winner will receive one copy of the book and it will be shipped right to your door. Here are the rules:
1. *This contest is only open to U.S. moms.
2. *To enter, just leave a comment (comment must be better than Hi Nicole). If you’re not a blogger, you are still eligible to enter. Only one comment per person, please.
3. *This giveaway will close November 3 at midnight CST. (edit to add: this is BEFORE the time change) I will randomly choose a winner and will post the name first thing Sunday morning.
This carnival of giveaways is being hosted by Shannon over at Bloggy Giveaways. Visit her site this week for links to more great giveaways.
Good Luck!
Bet you don’t know what that is? Well, maybe you do if you read this blog, or definitely this blog.
However, if you don’t know what it is - it is National Novel Writing Month, and it is coming up in just a week.
I have been going just about crazy trying to decide on my topic/storyline. I have been participating in some random challenges from the website, just to keep myself occupied and fresh. What wound up happening though, was something I didn’t expect.
I wound up finding a story in our blended family. I decided to use part of our lives to create a character who was going through a similar thing and voila - I found a whole book. No. Seriously. I have no idea how I am going to do it either, because I now have a chapter written and it is against NaNoWriMo rules to write your book ahead of time. So that one will have to wait on the back burner until after the extreme writing craziness of November and extreme editing craziness of December. Which sucks btw: because I had some great storylines going.
In the meantime though, it gives my mind something else to think about instead of stressing over my ideas for the actual NaNoWriMo competition. I am initially aiming to win the 50,000 words, but am hoping I can bypass that and come close to 100,000. Say prayers. Lots of prayers. I need them.
