6 years ago today, this blog was born. It has since gone through several different stages as I joined the writing community, explored various publication paths, and struggled in both my writing and non-writing lives. If you've been along for the ride, you know there have also been quite a few growing pains.
Still, 6 years is pretty amazing. They included Terri G Long's Flash Blogging challenge, numerous Flash Friday entries, a dive into Publishing Contracts, and so much more. In that time, I've indie published a poetry collection, a flash fiction collection, 3 novels, 2 novellas, and a short story. I've been part of anthologies, been published traditionally, and sorted through the mess of that publisher's reputation falling apart due to the reality behind the scenes. It's been a lot.
That also means there's plenty to celebrate. And as you know, my favorite way to celebrate is by giving away goodies!
Prize Pack Includes:
- Canvas tote bag
- Cavaliere Vineyards pin (from Tasting Temptation)
- Life Under Examination keychain
- "From My Lips" art print (from Taking Chances)
- Mortal Musings magnet
- Romance goodies from other authors, including:
- Two romance novels, a spiral-bound notebook, and a lens cloth
- Signed copy of winner's choice of my print books!
- And possibly more goodies that fit in the box 😇 💕

My favorite V-day memory are really just the great meals I get to eat when we go out.

DeleteEvery year my fiancee makes a full menu, cooks homemade dishes from scratch for all three meals, plus drinks and snacks. We watch the cheesiest, most romantic girly movies and exchange cards all day. This will be our 8th Valentine's Day together.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! There's a reason so many of my heroes know how to cook. ;) Hope you have a lovely 8th Valentine's together!
DeleteMy hubby serenaded me in a restaurant. Actually embarrassing, but sweet
ReplyDeleteIn the moment, I'd probably lean toward feeling embarrassed like you said, but really how brave to put himself out there like that for you!
DeleteI don't have one that stands out, but Mr Wonderful always celebrates with flowers and candy. :-)
