Bright Side Blog Bash– Day 1!!!

Welcome to the Bright Side Blog Bash!!

Check out my very first VLOG below!! (and read below the vlog for some updates!)

Don’t forget to visit Lacie Nezbeth’s blog and enter to win her prizes, too!

Okay, a couple of things have changed since I recorded this video, so let me clear them up for you.

Readers:

First off, winners for the books and book related prizes will now be announced DAILY instead of on Saturday. So if you want to win today’s prizes, make sure you enter in the comments below following the instructions in the vlog!

The winner for today’s prizes will be announced TOMORROW.

Writers:

All the writing related prizes I have to offer are listed below. You may enter as many manuscripts as you like, but you only have to enter each one ONCE. You can enter on my blog OR on Lacie’s on any day of this week,  but in an effort to keep you from having to re-post the same blurb every day, we’ve decided to pool our writer-prizes and read over ALL the entries we get from you and hand out the writer prizes on SATURDAY.

So post your blurb and the other required info (mentioned in the vlog) and you could be selected to win ANY ONE of my writer-prizes OR any one of Lacie’s writer-prizes. Post each blurb and info once on any day this week.

Writers, we can’t wait to read your stuff!!

Announcing today’s prizes for readers!

Want to know more about these featured authors? 

Check out Katie Ganshert’s site or Dani Pettrey’s site.

Want to win one of these AMAZING prizes? Follow the instructions given in the vlog.

Once again, you can enter as many manuscripts as you like, but only enter each one ONCE. You may enter any day this week (Sept 17-21, 2012.) Winners will receive ONE of these prizes.

Good Luck, everyone!

Check back for tomorrow’s winners and don’t forget to visit Lacie’s Blog to enter her contest as well!!

Maybe It’s Good That I Never Win

I never win things. Okay, almost never.

There was this one time, about a thousand years ago, when I tried to call a friend of mine who worked at a local radio station. I dialed the main station number, but I must have been seriously confused and mixed up the promos I heard on the radio that give the phone numbers, because when the phone was answered, here’s how it went:

“Rock 103, do you know the answer?”

“Ummmm….I have the wrong number.” I distinctly remember the heat in my face because I knew I was live on the air.

“You have the wrong number? What?”

“Yeah, sorry. I was trying to call a friend at another station.”

Huge guffaws of laughter. “Are you serious?”

“Yeah. He works at B one-oh-…”

“Wait! Don’t say another station’s name live on our air!”

“Sorry.” Swallow. Hang up. Just hang up.

“So you don’t know the answer to our trivia question?”

“No. What’s the question?”

More laughter.

“Well, you didn’t find your friend, but how about this? Congratulations! You’re our winner for this hour!”

What.Is.Happening. “Really? Uh, thanks.”

“Yeah. You’ll have a prize pack made up of a t-shirt, a mug, a bumper sticker, some promo cards for the station and a demo CD of Pearl Jam. Nirvana. Toad the Wet Sprocket. Radiohead.Vertical Horizon.”

“Ummm…..Thanks…?”

“What station hooks you up with all that stuff and the best rock in the valley area?”

Okay. This is the part when I’m supposed to say the station call-sign thingy, and I can’t remember the station I called. Holy cow. “Ummm…Sunny 100?”

Dead silence on the air for way longer than they are supposed to allow dead silence.

“Uh, no.”

“I’m sorry. I have the wrong number.”

Yes, I did go pick up my prize pack. 🙂

Share with me: For a chance to win a $10 Amazon gift card, tell me about a time when you won something, or if you’ve never won anything, tell me about a time you did something really embarrassing. One commenter will be chosen at random to receive the prize! The drawing will be open until Thursday, 2/16/12 and the winner will be announced in a post next Friday! Good luck!
Oh, and, feel free to check out some of my other posts while you’re here. 🙂
