Two days of my life have wasted away as I cried over my keyboard (friends would say ‘cussed’ over my keyboard) while vigorously scrubbing my laptop. I’ve mostly got my baby clean, but there’s still this one crazy Trojan that keeps reinstalling itself. Well, the Navy sent me through Information Systems Maintenance school for a reason, but to be honest, that was eight years ago, and I barely remember Unix and A+ from it, much less anything else. I’ll solve this the way I solve all of my other problems: Google.
Okay, rant over. Not to change subjects, but I’m changing the subject. I am blown away by all these blogolicious contests offered by all you phenomenal bloggers out there:
Anna Staniszewski, YA author represented by Ammi-Joan Paquette at the Erin Murphy Literary Agency, is having a 100 followers contest, offering two soon-to-be-released books. Click quick. The deadline is April 22.
Sarah Wylie just published her book, All These Lives, and she's giving away some amazing prizes for aspiring authors: lunch with agent-extraordinaires Janet Reid and Suzie Townsend, a query critique, a partial manuscript critique, or a writer's survival package. Click here to beat the April 25 deadline.
Linda Sandifer is giving away an autographed copy of her latest novel, The Last Rodeo, and a box of chocolates in honor of Mother's Day. You'll need a hankie when you read about her impressions of her mother. She'll pick a winner who clicked here by May 2.
Stephanie Boman just signed with Alyssa Reubin of Paradigm Talent Agency and wants to celebrate by giving away a creepy pendant made by an Etsy artist (Ebay for handcrafting artists, if this is new to you). Just comment here about something that creeps you out.
And one of my personal favs, a revolving contest, is Miss Snark’s First Victim Secret Agent Contest. This is a monthly contest, but you need to be quick on the draw to get your submission in. Entries are judged by a panel which includes a mystery agent.
Whew! Lots more out there, but I need to sleep eventually. Uber-giant thank you to Bethany Wiggins for awarding me a Blogger BFF Award. I’m psyched about it because I love her blog. The Shooting Stars blog and Elana Johnson’s blog were the first blogs I ever followed, and I still always go there first.
Geez, I got a lil link-happy tonight. Before I go, I’m a bit curious about how people choose their prizes.
What's the weirdest prize you’ve ever seen offered or that you’ve ever offered in a contest?
