Um, Okay. I give up on this one. I thought I had posted this - in fact, I know I did because I have comments and then it disappeared... Must have been the gremlins PESKY GREMLINS!!! Anyhow, the contest is still open, so feel free to enter...
Before I get to this, I have a thought. I'd like to do another contest. I blame all of you for getting me addicted to this.
So here's the deal... You leave a comment telling me your favorite type of post that I do. Interview w/mythical creature, Interview with MC of book, Pure fantasy/humor, Writing instruction through fantasy, guessing what someone really is, OR ???? You can suggest something new. I'd also like you to be a follower and tweet/blog about the contest. Capice? Great.
OH the prizes?? Details, details. How about I offer a critique on a full chapter of your WIP? Don't want my input? Then I send you a book. WHITE CAT by Holly Black. Make sure to mention your preference in the comments and leave me a way to contact you. I'll have my kiddies pick the winner from a hat again and announce it next Thursday on the blog.
NOW to the paid endorsement (I wish):
Well, cheer up my friend! I have the perfect solution. Bet you didn't know that the Pixie's natural enemy is a Gremlin. Now hold up just a sec there. Don't go grab yourself a Gremlin. Replacing one mischievous pest with another isn't going to do you a lick of good. If you think Pixies are bad, just wait till the Gremlin slimes your shoes. Not fun. Not fun at all.
So what's the solution? RENT-A-GREMLIN! We'll bring the Gremlin, let him take care of your pesky Pixie and you can be Fairy sure we'll then take that Gremlin away. Let the professionals handle it.
*please note that Rent-a-Gremlin is not responsible for lost or damaged furniture, household pets, or nosy neighbors. Please rent responsibly.
You crack me up, Lisa! Great contest idea. As for me, I enjoy your writing instruction through fantasy posts. I write PBs (Martina is the queen of word counts over a thousand), so my preference is for a book prize (although, my husband may hurt me if he sees me with another new book :) ).
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa!

Marissa - Thanks (on all counts). I bow to you. I tried PBs once upon a time (see I'm already suck at it) and it didn't work well for me. I think it takes a special kind of person to really get those even though many who don't understand writing think it's "easy."
ReplyDeleteYou are so much fun Lisa!!! I have to say that I would love interviews with mythical creatures... fantasy posts, I'm very much a magical girl!!! I love all of your posts (even if I don't have time to comment... just know I'm lurking)
ReplyDeleteJen - you're so sweet. Thank you for the compliments. I know you can't see it, but I assure you I'm blushing.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jen. Love the interviews and the critters you choose. Thanks for the paranormal fun!
ReplyDeleteI'd love your book with your personal inscription. White Cat sounds purrfect for my summer reading.
As to that Gremlin deal. I'm wondering if a Pixie I know is better than a Gremlin don't. Is there a "satisfaction guaranteed" clause in the rental agreement?
C. Lee - Glad you enjoy the interviews. I'll have to do another one soon. But, I'm not sure Holly Black would appreciate it if I signed her book. ;) Maybe one of these days I'll be able to send you one of mine. And as to the Gremlin question, the claims of the advertiser in no way reflect the views of this blogger. Ahem. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Lisa! I like writing instructions through fantasy. But really, anything you blog about will be entertaining!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my blog. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteLiza - you're welcome. Hope you visit again.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think my kids are a combination of pixie and gremlin. Funny I never realized it before . . . All those post ideas sound good to me. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Roxy. Yeah, I know what you mean about those kids. Trouble the lot of them, but darned cute.
ReplyDelete...since your visit I've been reading your recent posts and enjoying every word.
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest a copy of "White Cat" for the victor. If the voice you pen is anything like the entertaining thoughts you provide us on your blog, then I'm sold:)
Just now stumbled upon your blog... looks like a lot of fun! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL! Rent-a-gremlin, that's awesome! *wipes tears from eyes due to spontaneous laughter* My favorite type of post you do, that's a hard one since all of your posts are so witty and fun to read. I've have to go with Monday Madness since you're making me choose.
ReplyDeleteElliot - So glad you're enjoying the blog! :D I am going to fix this right away, because I apologize for not making it clear, but HOLLY BLACK is the author of WHITE CAT - an outstanding book (YA Paranormal)
ReplyDeleteLia - Hooray for stumbling!! I'm so glad you found me. Hope you become a regular!
ReplyDeleteHeather - Thanks, Hon! Glad you told me you like Monday Madness because I wasn't sure how that was going over.
