Woo hoo! I officially made it to the six-year mark on my blog, and now I’m looking forward to another year with all of you. *smile*
On my post announcing my annual Blogiversary Contest, we had enough comments to earn three winners. In fact, we were just a couple of comments away from earning four winners.
So. Close. *sigh*
I always struggle with the part where random.org selects the winners because I wish I could give everyone a prize. And this year, when we were so close to earning another winner, doubles that issue for me.
I’ve said it before, and I really mean it. You’re the reason I blog, and I appreciate you so much that I wish I could do something for each one of you.
So… I’m going to do a bonus level of the contest.
In addition to the three winners of my Blogiversary Contest, I’m going to award a fourth prize, but there are strings… *smile*
Introducing…The Bonus Contest!
On my original Blogiversary post, the rules were simple: Just leave a comment—any comment—to enter. For this bonus fourth prize, the comment has to be a bit more serious.
To enter my Bonus Contest and have a chance at the fourth prize, you have to leave a comment on this post with a question, request for a worksheet, insight, etc. that gives me an idea for a future post that I can write and share here at my blog.
Just like with my original Blogiversary post, I don’t want to leave out readers of my books, so the comment doesn’t have to be a writing craft or publishing question. Readers (or writers!) are welcome to comment with questions about my books, characters, inspirations, etc. as well.
I’ll leave this Bonus Contest open until midnight Eastern time on Sunday, July 17th, 2016. The winner will be chosen by a combination of being a valid entry (with a good or interesting future post idea) and random selection. That is, the winner won’t necessary be the best idea, but their comment does have to be a valid idea for a future post.
(Unlike my Blogiversary Contests, I won’t close comments here at the deadline so that readers coming across this post later will feel welcome to ask questions, but only comments left before that time are eligible for the contest.)
Blogiversary Contest Winners
And now, the part you’ve all really been waiting for…the winners from my 6th Annual Blogiversary Contest!
