Blogging Habits Survey & Winners of Pitch for a Prize Contest


Are you up for a little informal survey today?

I'd like to know some of your blogging habits, if you don't mind...



1. How much time per day/week do you spend blogging?

2. What types of posts most interest you?

3. Are you less likely to read/comment on a post that is lengthy, or do you look for content?

4. Do you comment on only a few posts, most of those you read, or all of them?

5. Do you try to visit and comment on all the blogs of those who comment on your posts?

Thanks for your help. You are THE best blog buddies in the kingdom!

And now, to announce the winners of the Pitch for a Prize contest:

Carol J. Garvin was THE MOST helpful, completely revising the pitch to make it tight and bright, and emailing me several times to give me encouragement about the conference. But she refused a prize. How sweet is that? You don't get off that easy, Carol! I am awarding you this Your Blog Makes Us Smile Award. So there. I appreciate and love you!



I do want to give prizes to these three ladies who also helped me:



1. Sarah Anne Loudin Thomas, for your advice on convincing an editor why this book is unique. Duh!!! I knew that, but had obviously forgotten, and needed a reminder. Thank you!

2. Karen Lange, for taking time out of one evening to revise the pitch, then send to me via email--thank you!

3. Nisa, for your suggestion to use only one of my many paragraphs--thank you!

I will email you dear friends with a list of novels I have, and you can choose which you like.

For all of you who liked the pitch and said you'd buy the book--thank you, and I'll be contacting you when it comes out!!!

Love,
