B is for Blog Contests

So today is day number 2 in the A to Z challenge, and I thought a nice celebration was in order. I love blog contests (even though I never win) and I decided to throw one myself. I'm nearly at 300 followers and I thought I would celebrate that milestone.

The rules for the contest:

1. You don't need to be a follower, but if you are the more entries you'll get.
2. Fill in the form below
3. On the 30th April I will announce the winner. That's right. It's going for the entire month and on the day that I post my Z post I will post the winner.

What is the prize? To start off with, the prize is a $30 gift card from Amazon.com. Since this will be going all month and I might be feeling generous the prizes could increase. So pass on the word and lets make this month a fun month.

And, speaking of contests. Shelley Watters is having a contest over at her blog. It's for writers of completed MS's. It is for a twitter pitch (140 characters or less) of the novel.

Here are the rules from her blog:
As this is a contest to celebrate hitting blog follower milestones, to be fair, only followers of my blog or twitter (@Shelley_Watters) are eligible to participate (but you CAN follow me now & enter! :) )

1. Follow my blog and/or twitter (@Shelley_Watters)
2. Sign up for the blogfest using the link below.
3. Spread the word about the contest (via blog/twitter/etc).
3. On April 1st and 2nd, post your 140 character twitter pitch on your blog.
4. Go visit the other contestants and provide comments/critiques on their pitch.
5. On April 3rd, in the comments section of my contest blog, post:

• Title, Genre and Word Count
• Your polished 140 character twitter pitch
• Where you follow me (blog/twitter). Please include your twitter handle.
• Link to where you spread the word (twitter/blog etc)
• Your email address where you can be contacted.

So get polishing your 140 character Twitter pitch!


Here is the pitch I'm going to be using:


"To control the creature threatening to take over her, 16-year-old Scar joins an underground fight club of witches, werewolves and vampires."


What do you all think?
