I know I've been a little scarce around here, but the good news is that very few people are coming on purpose to look for new content. Whew. The bad news is that I've been oh so lazy in showing my gratitude for good things which have come my way in the past little while. I have the best budz on the webz, and I think I'm a little spoiled because not everybody could possibly be this lucky.
Case in point:
Yellowcat sent me this t-shirt as a prize for her little movie-lines contest. Now I have the only t-shirt from Bubba's in Oklahoma, it's safe to assume, and I wear it with pride. (Yes, I know it's backwards. Too lazy to flip it.) Thanks, Holly!
And another confirmation my blog friends are indeed flesh-and-bone people:
I helped Ian on three of these books. I was a beta on Mustang Sally and Troubleshooters (my fave) and helped him in the Amazon book contest process on Deep Six, and though I didn't work on The Archmage, he knew I'd like to have a complete set. He threw The Archmage in for kicks. These will be worth something someday, guaranteed. They're signed and everything. A very sweet thing to do. Thanks, Ian!
And these aren't the only things I've received from you guys. I've gotten snail mail from several of you, and books, and cds, and I just love getting these little pieces of my Internet friends. So now I'm thinking maybe I should have a contest and give something from my world as the prize. I'm going to really have to think about what it could be.I write, of course, and I can sketch, sort of. I don't work, so no t-shirts. I have a daughter who makes her own greeting cards and a son who draws the coolest action scenes ever. I have several writing books I could pass along. Have I mentioned anything on the blog that made you say, "If only I had one of those"?
And what could the contest be? Oh dear.

Congrats on all the loot! :)
ReplyDeleteI can only say that I think some peeps know a pretty cool you. :) And I've had your bourbon balls. :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the prizes, woo, prizes and free stuff!
You could have an Oklahoma contest of some sort, or song titles, or best lines from books - you'll think of something, I'm sure. :D Love you! *hugs*
I'm glad the shirt fit. Some guy from Oklahoma called yesterday and wants to start a Bubba's down there. Who knows, maybe it's close to you.
ReplyDeleteI love how the Interwebz removed the geographic barrier between friends. It's so much easier to stay in touch and keep up on what's happening through blogs, Tweets, and FB updates. I'm slowly building a network of that's radiating outward. I'm glad you're part of it!
ReplyDeleteAs for the prize... you should auction off Sonic goodies since you love it and grew up not far from the first one. However, I don't think an orange cream slush would travel very well...
