For those of you who are wondering what's happened to my Author's Commentaries that I've been (not) posting, well, there's a few reasons they've strangely disappeared. Firstly, my computer's been acting up, so writing blog entries have been a pain in the neck. Secondly, typing time has been disappearing of late (thanks to the whole job business ... It'll be twelve weeks this Friday. I'll have outlasted my sister ...) and some of my stories have been distracting me (and I'm sure you don't mind that, as it'll mean more books for ya'll to read sooner rather than later). Thirdly ... and this may sound petty, but I was hoping for a bit better of a reaction to the Commentaries. On the two I have posted, there are a grand total of three comments ... and with only one exception, I know of nowhere outside of my blog where this has been talked about. So ... comment on those two posts, do up some of the fan stuff, and I may be inspired to write these quicker and post them. I do plan to make it to chapter 27 ... though at this rate, I'll be here all year.
Do ya'll mind if I do that? It may mean some AMAZING prizes?
However, if you're looking for a more immediate way to win copies of my books, look at my side bar and you'll see that Booklover's giveaway thing. I'm not sure the link works ... but if you go here, you can enter about a million times, and if you go here, you can read the Valentine's themed interview that they had with me. The nicest part of this giveaway is that you'll receive a whole stack of books. I can vouch for the amazingness of five (of the ones that aren't my own) and the evilness of one. I haven't read some , but I do have most of that sort on my kindle waiting to be read, and I'm sure they're really good.
Go enter. I'm not going to tell you where the Encounter is until you have.
Back? Good. This month, in the spirit of Valentine's day, you will encounter a character on ...
Surprise Date
That's right. This month, for Valentine's day, one of your male characters (or female, if you happen to be a boy, but I don't think I have any guy participants) will take you on a date. I don't care where you go, but have fun!
(And tomorrow's my day off, so I should have my encounter up sometime then)
I for one don't mind a bit if this takes you longer. I'm trying to get revisions of my stuff done in time for Camp NaNo in April and more time to write Bookania fan fiction would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I love the idea of having one of my male characters take me out on a date. That is a really cool prompt.

Wonderful interview, Kendra. And I'll stick around for however long it takes to get the commentary done. I think it's a fantastic idea - kind of like special features to a DVD.
ReplyDeleteAnd OH MY WORD THAT IS THE HARDEST CE EVER! Maybe I'll get one of my villains to take me out, so that I can know what his motives are... Actually, that's not a bad idea... King Jo-ohn! Where aaare yoouu?
Great job for working 12 weeks! *throws confetti*
Poor Kendra--I feel rotten about not participating in your Commentaries. :-( Truth is, my family are getting ready to move to a warmer climate come Summer (Lord willing!), so my mind hasn't exactly been on blogging. I'll see if I can remedy that....
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know exactly who will be taking myself on a surprise date, and where we'll go...I just hope y'all aren't sick of him by now. :-P ;-)
God bless,

Well, now, strike that. Looks like it's just too much for me, with everything else going on. Pooey! >:-(
