*Brrrrriiiiiing!*


I'll be away from my blog from now until June 4, when I'll return with another fabulous Blogging Mentor. I'll post once after I have my baby because I know some of you will be wondering how it went. Otherwise, I'll check in on your blogs from time to time.

Thank you for being the best writerly friends in the world! I'll be back soon, and remember, GET BUSY WRITING!

WINNERS!

A big thanks to everyone who participated in the Oh, Those High School Dances Blog Hop! Kelley and I had a blast reading your stories and viewing your pictures. I laughed. A lot. Like Kelley, some of you had a positive high school experience, but I maintain my opinion. I'd rather burn all my eyelashes off than go back. (Go Team Emily!) Thanks to Kelley for co-hosting this with me. You're awesome, girl!

It was really tough to pick just one winner, so I've listed honorable mentions for each category.
Best Dressed - Sheila Calderon Blankemeier! 
Honorable Mentions: Brinda Berry,  Ilima Todd, and Jenny Morris!
Funniest Dance Story - Leigh Covington!
Honorable Mentions: Angela Cothran, Hope Roberson, and Suze from Analog Breakfast!
Cutest Couple - Elizabeth Seckman!
Honorable Mentions: Shelly Brown, Charity Bradford, and Theresa Paolo!

The winners have the choice between a three chapter critique or a book ($10 limit). I'll e-mail you soon. Congrats!

For all other participants, Kelley is giving away a query critique and I'm giving away a first page critique. If you'd like the first page of your MS looked over, send it to me! And don't forget, Kelley chose three winners too. So go to her blog to see if you won a prize from her!

Again, THANK YOU for sharing your high school dance experiences! This was definitely a memorable blog hop.

Hug A Mom


Mother's Day should be called, "Hug A Mom Day." So what are you waiting for? Go hug a mother!

Kelley and I will be announcing the winners of the Oh, Those High School Dances Blog Hop on Monday. A big thanks to everyone who participated!
