While I'm Under

So a couple weeks ago I quoted Evanescence--in that I was going under... Underground for a bit to work on revisions. And I'm still there! Revisions are going well, it's a slow but steady kinda process. And, like I said before--I AM making blog rounds, just not leaving tons of comments. But I am reading what you're saying =)

So today, here's proof! Here are some of the cool things being talked about in the blogosphere:

Carol Valdez Miller is having a mayjah contest! Signed books by David Levithan and John Green. Lots of fun things and packages and, trust me, you DON'T want to miss out!! Make sure you check out her Will Grayson Squared Dance Contest!

Simon Larter's having a contest too! You can, like, win cool things. AND if you write him a poem? You get lotsa extra points!

Shannon Messenger's having a contest too! Signed books and journals and candy, OH MY!! Check out her 500 Followers Contest!

Elana Johnson put together this stellar resource post on one sentence pitching.

The one and only Ms. Karen Amanda Hooper wrote about putting warning labels on books.

Hilary Wagner unveiled her Nightshade City Book Trailer!!

I guest blogged about twitter addiction over at Sarah With a Chance =)

Cristin Terrill celebrated Shakespeare's birthday.

Portia Sisco wrote about mapping out your editing strategy--fabulous advice for sure!

Alexandra Shostak got a ridiculously cutie pie new kitty! Quentin... <3 <3 <3

Natalie Bahm wrote about e-readers and going green...

Okay, I could go on and on and on, because there are some awesome posts out there--but I can't. I have to get back to revisions. But make sure you check out anything you'd missed!!

Oh, and at some point this week? We vote on my deal with the universe. Last chance to throw your suggestion in!! Click here if you haven't done it already!!

  1. Yay for contest pimpage! You're a doll, m'dear. Not the plastic kind, 'cause that'd be creepy. I meant that figuratively, natch.

    Now take a half-hour break from the edits, grab yourself an amaretto on the rocks, and write me some flash fiction, wouldja? ;)
