Happy Holidays

Happy Tuesday!

I am so excited to announce the winner of Amy Dixon's, Marathon Mouse, is 


       PAM

I hope this book will inspire you Pam, to keep on keepin' on. Best of luck to you with your full load of classes!

And now a word from our sponsor.

Thank you so much for all of you that took the time to read and comment on Amy's post. It resonated with so many visitors which just goes to show what an amazing resource and outlet a blogging community can be.  I am so grateful to Amy for sharing something so personal and also for those of you who described your own experiences with making hard choices.

This blog series has surpassed my expectations. I am in disbelief that busy authors take time out of their schedules to contribute their most humbling moments. I feel this act of generosity is a testament to the goodness of the kid lit community, which I am so happy to have found.

I would love to continue this series after the New Year, when things settle down, (things will settle down, right?) and would love for you to join me! Please stay tuned and have a wonderfully peaceful and creative holiday season!

xoxo

Elizabeth

  9. Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
    I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
    Any suggestions?

  10. I believe what you typed made a great deal of sense. But, think on this,
    suppose you added a little information? I am not suggesting your
    information is not solid., however what if you added a post title that makes people
    want more? I mean "Happy Holidays" is a little vanilla. You ought to
    glance at Yahoo's home page and see how they create post titles to grab viewers interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about everything've got to say.

    Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

  22. I usually do not drop many comments, but i did some searching and wound up
    here "Happy Holidays". And I actually do have 2 questions for you if
    it's allright. Is it only me or does it look as if like some of the remarks come across like left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of all of your shared sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

  25. First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I've had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
    I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes
    tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
    Any recommendations or hints? Cheers!
