Thanks again for following and being awesome!

The giveaway is here!

Whether you've been reading these posts for a week or since I started this crazy blog--I just want to say, Thank You! I never imagined I would have 50 people following my blog. You guys are awesome.

Now, down to business... I have posted a couple things about this very event before, so you knew it was coming, and I'm sure you've been wondering what the prizes are. I'll get to that. First, the rules.

If you would like a chance at the prizes, you need to fill out the form below. In order to fill out the form below, you need to be a follower of the blog. It's that simple. So, if you're reading this and you aren't a follower, but would love a chance at those prizes, all you have to do is hit the follow button! Go ahead and go to the form and see what you can do to get extra chances at winning the prize. If you do everything, you get something like 14 extra chances to win. That's a lot! ( I went a little crazy with the extra points...)

The form will be open for 48 hours (actually it will be open longer than that, but I'll only accept entries from that timeframe) for you to fill it out and then I will draw a couple names at random. On the form, there is one question with boxes next to it that you need to fill out. It is which of the prizes you would like. You can choose one, or all of them. If you don't choose all, the rest of the prize will go to a runner up.

That's it for the rules, now the prizes.

How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu

To go to the form, please click here! Again, thanks for following! We'll see you at the next giveaway!

Novel Update!

"A Place Called Earth" is finished. I am happy with it. For me, that's big news! It is ready for submission, and I bought myself a copy of John Herman's Guide to Book Publishers, Editors, & Literary Agents. I guess that means I'll be working on my query letter now. Hee hee.

So, the plan is, I'm going to query like mad. I'll give it a year, if I don't manage to find an agent or publisher interested, I'm going to go the self publish route. And when that happens... I'll let you all know.

Well, that's about it. I don't have much to say for once. I do have a few reminders, though.

I could still use some ideas for what to give the winner of the 50 follower giveaway. Let me know. The link is on the sidebar, and you can view the post here.

If you would like to be a part of my blog spotlight on Tuesdays (or every other Tuesday, if I don't have enough blogs to spotlight...) you can email me, or check the post, also on my sidebar or here.

And last but not least, the "Pay-it-Forward" blogfest is going on for another two weeks. The details are in the Pay-it-Forward post. There is also a link to the post on my sidebar. Don't forget to sign up for it in the Mr. Linky box so we can all check out your post on the 23rd!

I See a Giveaway in Your Future

So, if you've been following my blog for a while now, you probably know that I've never done a giveaway! Well, I'm going to change that. But... I'm going to need some help. A couple things really.

First, I need more followers. That's right. I'm asking you guys to spread the word about this blog! Do you like it? I hope so. So, pass it around on Twitter if you will. That would be great. When I've reached 50 followers (that's only 21 people away), I'll be ready to do the giveaway.

Here's number two. I need some ideas on what I should give away. I'm thinking a book or two, but what do you guys want? Any ideas would be awesome.

One more thing, though. I'm going to do something special. When I tweet about this post, if you RT it for me, and then leave me a comment here on the blog, I will give you a point for when the giveaway comes. That way, you'll already be a step ahead of the game! Sounds great, right? So, comment away, let me know what you want to get and how many people you've refered, and we'll have a good ole time!

Thanks for being awesome followers!
