Liebster Award, Contest Fail and Blog Tour


Aldrea Alien at Thardrandian Thoughts  presented me with the Liebster award. Thank you Aldrea. ^_^

The rules of this award are:
  1. Thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter on your blog.
  2. Link back to the blogger who presented the award to you.
  3. Copy and paste the blog award on your blog.
  4. Present the Liebster Blog Award to 5 blogs with 200 followers or less.
  5. Let them know they have been chosen by leaving a comment at their blog. 
In return I'm passing this onto the following awesome blogs, who all have less than 200 followers, but should have many more, because they're great.

On Monday I mentioned I was going to take part in the Fantasy-Faction anthology Writing Contest. Well I tried, and failed. 

We've had a really busy week, with lots of stuff going on with my Hubby's business, and I really do suck at writing short stories. Also, Skyrim DLC Dawnguard

I attempted writing an entry for the contest three times, and nothing was really sticking. I did get somewhere, with a fairly decent idea, but I wasn't one-hundred percent happy with it, and didn't think I'd have time to finish it off (in less than 8,000 words. Did I mention I struggle with short stories?) and get it edited by the deadline.  I think perhaps I was overly ambitious, and bit off more than I can chew thinking I could get a contest ready short story done in five days. I will keep my eyes open for other contests in the future, and give it another crack. 


In case you haven't heard, one of my closest friends Kyra Lennon is launching her debut novel, a contemporary romance titled Game On, on August 6th.  To celebrate the launch, Kyra is holding a blog tour, with many fantastic prizes on offer. I'm honoured to be the first stop on her tour, and I will be hosting a giveaway offering a paperback copy of Game On, as well as sharing something a little fun related to the book.  I hope you all keep an eye on Kyra's blog as the launch date and tour approaches, and check back here for the start of the tour. It's going to be epic!!
