Rachelle Gardner partnered with Sony and WordsMoveMe.com to offer a Sony Pocket Reader to one of her lucky readers/entries!
Details are at her blog at http://cba-ramblings.blogspot.com/2009/12/words-move-me-sony-reader-giveaway.htmlThe winner just has to MOVE HER with their entry. The one that she chooses will receive the Sony Pocket Reader and the promise that she will read the book from the entry.
Oooooh the possibilities are endless! The idea that she would read my novel makes me giddy. Lord, knows there are plenty of passages that move me in Mandorian Prophesies. Or even the pieces of Unseen that are written.
So with excitement, I opened the sight then copy and pasted... drat only 255 chars... copy and pasted again... shoot still too long... copy and pasted... Ah ha! It fits... then I froze.
Then closed the site.
Really, Eisley? Really? Why can't you push submit?
Well, that's simple. Remember that Christmas list with confidence on it? Yup, soooo not Christmas yet, which means Santa hasn't come to stuff any confidence into my stocking. ;)
Silly Eisley...silly, silly, silly!
So, I open the sight again. Copy and paste another entry. Didn't fit. Again and again... 255 chars are just not enough to communicate what I think I need out of the exact text.
That little "X" in the top right corner mocks me again.
And wins.
Now what, Eisley? You going to sit there forever with a gem under your belt?
Why yes... yes, I am. Okay, well not really. But Rachelle doesn't read Fantasy... so it feels like a lost cause. But I would really LOVE to have that reader...
So my new idea... post out of a published novel that really has moved me. Then maybe she will have the chance to read a good published author, and I still get my Reader :)
Good idea, no?
;)
EDITED TO ADD A SCREAM!!!! Ahem, okay... well I did it. I didn't submit Mandorian Prophesies because I knew its not one she would like to read (being that it's fantasy) but I did submit three quotes from my Unseen WIP. So we will see!!!
Best of luck in the contest, good lady. The prizes for the two runners-up are pretty cool too! Even if you don't win the Reader, wouldn't it be fun to get a query or WIP crit from Rachelle?
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! I thought about entering that too, but wasn't sure what to put... She's a great blogger though :o)
