in which i haven’t abandoned my blog after all (+ giveaway)

Wednesday, December 8, 2010 |
November 2010 is going to go down as the month my blog (almost) died. December might seem like a close second, but I’ll fight that, starting right now.There’s no particular ‘reason’ I stopped writing – just a combination of factors that together add up to something called “real life.” The only thing left to do, I think, is to apologize for the interruption in service and get on with it.

Well, and offer a giveaway. It’s been a while, so if you’re still reading, I figure you deserve it.

Prize: Two winners will receive $25 US to either Amazon or The Book Depository.

Fill out the FORM. Giveaway is open internationally, and will end on December 22 at 11:59pm EST. I will notify the randomly selected winner via email.

life happens, don't worry about it. It's no big deal. Blogging might feel like a full time job, or all we do, but it isn't.

so don't worry about it, and welcome back!

Glad to have you back! This has been the busiest holiday season ever for me and I've contemplated taking a break from blogging. As it is this is the first chance I've had to look at other people's blogs in days. I'm loving finally getting to see what everyone has been up to.
