500 Followers Contest for $20 Amazon Gift Card

This blog is getting very close to having 500 followers. Also I'm moving, in case you haven't heard, so I figure its a great time to celebrate and have this blogs first contest. It's very simple, and the point is to celebrate and thank all you wonderful people who've been with me here and supported me. This blog would be pointless without you.

Here are the rules. There are only three.
1-Be a follower of this blog.
2-Post a link to this blog in your blog.
3-Leave a comment here, linking me to that post.

Thats all. Then I will pick a random winner from the comments, check to make sure the link is legit, and that person will win a $15 Amazon gift card direct to their email. But there's a bonus. The deadline for this is midnight on May 23rd, which is my first day at my new job. If by that point we have reached 500 followers, the prize will be raised to $20. Make sense? I figure its a simple contest, and any credit towards Amazon is great, right? Plus I could use the support and the chance to give back something to you all. You're awesome, really. You're why I do what I do.

Sounds great! I'll plug the competition later this week. :-) I'm assuming that the competition is open to foreigners?

Wow, Sarah. I had no idea what this post would do to me.

I started out by linking to you, and touching on your C.S. Lewis quote...then my POV became something comepletely different!

I gave myself the goosebumps, cried and then realized that even if our desires feel "other-worldly" we must remember that we create our own reality - right here, right now.

Thanks for prompting this in me.

I'm sure you had another post here earlier.... I was trying to comment on it but couldn't.... About an indie author and her book - had like a planet on the cover. Did Blogger pinch that post???
Anyway, I wanted to say the story sounded really interesting :-)

Tracy Jo said...

Sarah, this is great! a blog contest! you're doing wonders for your platform and I'm so impressed.

As for our conversation earlier today, here is the beginning of a series of posts about critique groups. When I get to the "when?" part, I'll definitely ask you about your opinions since they're a bit different from my own :)
