200 GIVEAWAY WINNERS: And A Cruller



Inconceivable! The turnout for this giveaway was huge! And it's all thanks to you guys. I'd like to thank you all in advance for participating and spreading the word. All the names are in. Witch Song was the most popular in the bunch, too. As you can see in the above picture, I've drawn three names from three different piles. Now all I have to do is open them and announce the winners (the sweet-looking sword isn't part of the deal)!


Instead of outright telling you who the winners are this time around, click on these covers. You will then be whisked away to an awesome blog. Whoever owns said blog is the lucky winner of that book (I'm a shameless traffic increaser).

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU THREE!

 
Send me an email with the address that you'd like me to send your book to (it doesn't have to be your address).

If I could give you all a book, I would. But don't panic! My offer for a query or 250 word critique is still open for anyone who wants one. The offer stands until the 7th (for those of you who already sent stuff, I'll work on it now). Find my email here and send me what you got!

Again, thank you all for participating! I look forward to hosting another giveaway when we reach 400.

Oh! And before you leave, enjoy your virtual cruller!

Yum!

I'm David, and where are my postage stamps?

Post: Shout-Out: Impossible!



You know that classic cartoon antic when character's eyes pop out of their heads in various disproportional ways? That's about what happened when I opened the blog this morning. I don't know what's going on, but thank you for being awesome! So awesome in fact, I don't think it's possible to give a shout-out to all of our forty-four new members!

Seriously. I'm that blown away.

But a motto of mine is "Promises Take Precedence," so I'm about to do the impossible: Shout-Out: Impossible! I'm gonna to need a little help with this one, Ethan...

 
"I got your back, Dave!"

If you have the time, please visit our latest members! (If I didn't link you, that means I could not find your blog--if you have one, let me know in the comments).

Wow! That was epic! Thank you all so much for joining the cosmic forces of this writing laire. Many of you are fellow campaigners, and I look forward to following up.

I would've asked Hal to help me with this shout-out instead, but we don't exactly collaborate all that well.

"I'm sorry, Dave..."

Update: A couple more rejections. And a full! I'll report more on that awesome story soon, if and when I can. 

Some of you have already emailed me samples to critique and asked questions. That's awesome! I will respond to your samples when the giveaway is over.


I'm David, and you were hard to find, but worth it!
