We are getting a jump on the November blogfest season! Some of you are doing Nanowrimo, but this could be a nice break and it doesn't take much! Just a thank you to your readers! And readers can be crit partners, betas, blog readers, published book readers, library patrons, or just the reading public in general! We thought it would be awesome if we all gave thanks at the same time and hopped around to revel in the love! Not to mention, Thanksgiving will be in the air at that time!
Here’s the rules, folks:
Vikki and I will each pick a winner, and jointly choose another overall winner, to be announced on Thursday November 8 on our blogs. They win:
Since Vikki is also my crit partner, I know her critique is a valuable prize! And I can't wait to give my thankful gift to her!
Lastly - for anyone on twitter, Vikki thought it would be fun if during the same period we tweeted thanks using the hashtag #thankstomyreaders for additional fun. She is vixatthemovies there.
- Sign up on the Linky List below.
- Post thanks to your readers on your blog between Monday, November 5 and Wednesday, November 7 by 1700 UK/1200 noon EST US time.
- And if you don’t have a CP and you would like to find one, go ahead and post a ‘personals’ ad.
- Be CREATIVE. Write a letter, a piece of flash fiction, a haiku, a poem, or a vlog. It can take whatever form you like. We’d like it if you kept it under 300 words but won’t be counting.
- Naming your reader(s) is up to you and feel free to link to them.
- Hop around and comment on other people’s!
Vikki and I will each pick a winner, and jointly choose another overall winner, to be announced on Thursday November 8 on our blogs. They win:

That's a cool idea! And simple enough that it can be posted with the IWSG post that week.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will post it before IWSG =) That's our judging day, we will need support too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very nice blogfest. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteJust signed up and I'll post the banner on my sidebar. Sounds like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteOh this sounds awesome! I better mark it down because I will forget! My prego brain is a pile of mush.
ReplyDeleteAnd anyone will be so lucky to have a blog banner design by you! I'm in love with mine! I hug it every morning.
This will be fun :) Your blog is so pretty!
