 The Writer's Alley hit 300 followers and to celebrate we are doing prize giveaways for TWO straight weeks! You still have a bit of time to go visit the posts from this week and get your name in the drawing. I'm giving away a copy of Home Another Way by Christa Parrish

AND in honor of Spring that isn't here yet, I'm doing a gift certificate giveaway for my jewelry! You can find out more about that on my Facebook page (if you're seeing this before 8 am pacific, then give me a few minutes and I'll get it up :-)



Did You See It??

I was given the priviledge to interview author T. Davis Bunn here on my blog!! I hope you saw it! It posted yesterday and you can find the link here.

I also posted on the Alley this week about my experiences in taking Margie Lawson's online class. (There is a giveaway :-)


And the Winner is....

The winner of Catherine West's Yesterday's Tomorrow is...

Samantha Cheng!

(you've been emailed Samantha. :-)


I got my copy this week! :-)


Ack, It's Gone...!


I sent in my Frasier entry this week (Monday to be exact) Eeeek! Can we say NERVES? Though I will say the most nerve-wracking moments were the ones directly after sending it in. SURE I would just go find a typo of some kind. I hold no high hopes...except learning something that will help my craft.

But (you writers can emphasize with me) you know how hard it is to send something off without being there looking over the shoulder of the one judging?? At least in the show ring for 4H I could be there
JUDGING HOW THE JUDGE JUDGED ME.

Figure that one out. Yeah, it's where my brain has been this week. ;-)


Coming Up Next Week...

I promised a series on purity and it's coming! All next week to be exact. Monday--Thursday I will have three guest posts and a post I have written. This series is about remaining pure before marriage, more than just body. But heart, mind and soul.

I hope you will join us, this is promising to be a very UPLIFTING set of posts.


I Dare You to Watch it Only ONCE!

When my mom showed me this, I KNEW I had to share it with you. You will be lololololololing for the rest of the day.

I know I was. :-)




Happy Friday!!

Don't Forget Your Cold Call Question(s) for Julie!!!

11 comments:

  1. Oh, I absolutely love Julie's books.

    here's my questions for her.

    What is your secret (if you dare tell us) to writing such long page turner books? Books that hold the readers attention and draw them back to the book

    When/where will she be signing in GA this summer (if she knows for sure yet)!

  3. WHOO-HOO, I get to do COLD CALL!!!!! Although I tend toward "HEAT," this is a pretty exciting venture for me and I can't wait to answer some thought-provoking questions!!

    And, Case, the "Mommy's Nose" video??? ADORABLE ... my first big laugh for the day. :)

    Hugs,
    Julie

    P.S. Waving to Abi and sending my thanks for her sweet comment AND great question AND to Jackie -- I will possibly be in Atlanta for the International Christian Retail Show, July 10-13, so say one that I make it to ICRS because if I do, I hope to set up a book signing at Nora St. Laurent's LIFEWAY in Dacula!!

    JACKIE, ooo, I think Julie has an answer already for you. :)

  11. Im a little late on commenting, but I was reading the posts that I missed over my busy weekend and had a few comments for ya! ;-)

    I know how you feel about the Fraiser. My entry went out six hours before the deadline. I hate clicking the SEND button. Like you, I feel sure I will re-read it and find some way I could've made it better or some correction that it needed.

    I watched the video - and laughed SO HARD!!!!! Wow!! How cute! :-P
