Blog RSS feedNovember contest time! [contest closed]
I’d like to thank everybody for the condolences on the loss of my old kitty. He did have a very nice life. Often when I have a bad day or something unfortunate happens, I remind myself of how lucky I am by finding something to be grateful for. I am incredibly thankful that I had Tigger’s companionship, and also very grateful to have a loving family who were willing to take good care of him into his old age.
So it’s time for the November contest. Win some custom-designed swag as well as a signed copy of “Bad Girls Don’t Die.” I will also add a $15 Amazon gift certificate this month if the entry points top 250!
To enter, just leave a comment below telling me what you’re thankful for.
Here’s the points scale:
+1 for a “thankful” comment
+1 for telling me about a “reverse NaNoWriMo” activity you’re doing–something new and exciting! –OR tell me your NaNo wordcount
+1 for tweeting a link (up to three separate days… don’t forget the #bgddcontest tag)
+1 for using the new “ShareThis” icon below and sharing to the public source of your choice–please tell me which one!
+1 for mentioning on your blog or website (please add the link)
+1 for being or becoming a Facebook fan — click here!, which is actually a great way to keep up with contests and other announcements
And I guess that’s a lot of ways, so we’ll end it there!
Tallying of entries ends at 12:01 a.m. Pacific, Thursday 11/12/09…
Good luck!
(Don’t forget that by entering, you are agreeing to my contest guidelines.)

Sheesh. That’s too much work. I guess I’ll just have to forge your sig on my own copy.

Thanks so much for the contest!

+1 I am thankful for my loved ones:0)
+1 I am currently not involved with the NaNo stuff, but the fact that I addressed the question should count for something.
+1 I shall seek thee in Tweeter
+1 I shall use the “Share this” link, but I’ve yet to figure how. Let me consult with Toby.
+1 I already have you saved on my blogroll!
++1 I shall seek thee on Facebook.
Just out of curiosity only, what would be the most effective way to cheat on this contest? I ask solely out of concern, of course, and not because I’m in cahoots with Toby and my buddy Winston to procure a win dishonorably. After you share with me the method, I shall work quickly with my fifth column ? I mean Winston! – to repair any weaknesses in the system and ensure that most of your blog visitors play by the rules. Again, HOW DO I CHEAT AND GET AWAY WITH IT?
Just watching you back, Katie;0)
