An 18 Day Really Random Double T-800 Followers Blog Party...

The Really Random Double T-800 Followers Party!

First, I'd like to thank everyone who follows my blog.  When I began my writing journey in 2007, I didn't even know what a blog was!  My wonderful critique buddies, Amy and Tess taught me all I knew about blogging in the beginning.  In the last 10 months I've met so many wonderful people and cats in the blogging world.  And (yes, I know that is in bad form) I am so grateful!  Every time I've reached out to the blogging community I met nothing but kindness and people (and cats) who genuinely want to help others.  When my dear Stripes passed away, so many of you were there for me (including literary agent Mark McVeigh).  One blogger I've developed a wonderful friendship with is Jackee at Winded WordsJackee is always willing to give writing, blogging or real life assistance.  I'm truly (yep an -ly word) thankful I met her over at Susan's blog....

Jackee and I decided to join forces in a celebration!  Both of us are less than 800 followers away from 1,000!  Can you believe it?  (It won't be long and we'll have as many followers as Nathan Bransford.)

We’re celebrating how close we are to 1,000 followers (watch out Nathan, here we come...), how close we are to being published (only one acceptance away) and having met all of you lovely blogging friends.
Our celebration is going to be backwards and off-the-wall “random!”

First, sign up to win the last prize in the form below. (The grand finale first. Yep, like we said...it's gonna be random!) We're both giving away something extra special on July 31st. 

Starting Wednesday, come back and check both of our blogs. You’ll have to be a follower of both blogs and answer two or thee questions a day (on my blog) to be a winner.  (Jackee is going to do three give aways a week!)  I'll have two or three winners a day for the rest of July.  What will you win?  That's gonna be random and fun and you won't know until it arrives in the mail.  (wink)

We hope you have fun a lot of fun!

Thanks for being such wonderful friends and reading and commenting on our blogs.
Good luck!  (You have to "grab" the scroll bar on the form below so you can fill out and submit it... Thanks Donna!)

  2. Shucks! I don't think I've EVER blushed so much. That's including the time in college the neighbor boy caught me taking a shower in his bathroom. (Long story....)

    This party for our friends (and cats) is going to be so much fun that I catch myself giggling. Nathan watch your back! :o)

  9. Congrats on getting to only 800 followers away from 1,000! That's so amazing. I have a comment and a question. Comment: I love the quote that all of us that are unpublished are only one acceptance away. That blew my mind with how simple and true it is. Thanks :-) Question: is it ok to eat broccoli that's yellowish brown like that?? I just got broccoli from my CSA and it all looks like that.
