…and some weeks you turn your alto saxophone-playing son into The Fifth Beatle.
This was a Fifth Beatle week. I regret nothing.
Yes, yes, I know I have been very absent from this blog lately. And I’m sorry.
I have reasons, though! I’ve been teaching writing classes. (Fun!) I’ve also been making quixotic attempts to meet deadlines for a new MG series. (Less fun!)
And, well, I wanna go sleepy all the tiiiime.
BUT! A new Debatables is coming.
And I promise more blog post-y shenanigans in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. (Or, at most, four shakes. Or maybe five. Five lamb tail shakes, tops!)
The wining name will be drawn at random from the Hat of Randomness. The draw-er is this guy.
From left: Frosted Flake, flake.
He’s weird but fair.
How to Enter
To get your name in the Hat, all you need to do is leave an Interesting Tidbit about yourself in the comments section below.
I know “interesting” is a subjective term so let me give you some idea of what I’m looking for:
NOT Interesting: “I like ice cream.” TOO Interesting: “I hunt Armenians for sport.”
Please look for a Tidbit that falls somewhere between those two extremes, okay.
How To Increase Your Chance of Winning
Want me to stuff the ballot box in your favor? Sure! I’ll add two more ballots if you announce this contest on your blog and link back to this page. That’s three chances to win!
Don’t have a blog? No problem. I’ll also give youone extra ballot if you announce this contest on your Facebook page, Twitter feed, Pinterest page, or any other social media platform. (Be sure to post links in the comments.)
Want yet another chance to win? Dang, you’re greedy. Okay, if you’ve read one of my Prince Not-So Charming books (this one or this one), I’ll give you yet another extraballot if you write a review on Amazon or Goodreads.
Deadlines, Etc.
Your entry is due on or before Monday, September 10. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, September 12!
So that’s it! Leave an Interesting Tidbit below and get going!
David Gardner illustrated my first picture book, Sarah Gives Thanks. His work turned my pretty good manuscript into something great — and for that I will be forever grateful.
David is also a wonderful person. He’s so wonderful, in fact, that I am changing the name of my semi-regular “Waffles with Writers” column to promote his new book:
Hey, Look! A Writer Fellow!
