March Madness and some giveaway winners!

March Madness has my new writing habit well in place and must say I'm very glad for that. Two hours a day is all about the writing. Researching, revising, re-imagining characters and the list goes on. When I started working full time the hours in the day reduced drastically and I had to re-vision the writing, blogging, reading. One down and the other two to work out in terms the when and how much. Blogging seems to be leaning towards Sundays, big chunks of reading time on the weekends...more time will tell on that.

Part of the blogging I've been doing includes giveaways, which I love love doing. But. I forgot to  announce the winner for one I did a while back (she knows, you all don't).  It was part of the Random Acts of Kindness blog hop hosted by I'm a Reader, Not a Writer. The winner was Lexie @ The Book Bug and she picked Crossed by Ally Condie from The Book Depository.


Next up is the winner of the Judith Grave's book Second Skin. This was for commenting on a guest post Judith wrote on finding the your writer's balance. Congratulations out to Linda Jackson. Just waiting to hear back from her.

  1. I can so relate to having to juggle working with writing and blogging. I'm still figuring out getting more writing time in with the time blogging takes. Congrats to the winners.

    1. Good luck on the figuring out. I was going to cut way, way back on blogging, but you know I _love_ love doing it-it's a creative outlet.

  3. Congrats to Linda and Lexie.

    I read the March Madness link. Now I know what it's about. I've seen it elsewhere.

    Happy writing. I like it when my writing habits are firmly in place.

    1. Yes. And it is so important to do what is best for you are your writing. The blogging and other things can wait and you'll do them when you think it is best---and for the right reasons! All best with your writing!
