Now back to the regularly scheduled post:)
I'm a list maker.
When I get in planning mode I make tons of lists that eventually get buried under new lists and so on and on and on.
This past week I've been in that list making mindset as I plan the second annual Gearing Up to Get an Agent Blogfest.
Don't know what I'm talking about? GO HERE to learn more.
I'm excited about this years blogfest for so many reasons.
Let me list them for you...
- I got an agent. Yep. Old news. I know you're sick of hearing it. But because of this, I am determined, more than ever, to pay it forward through this blogfest. I want to be your cheerleader and I hope this blogfest shows it.
- Like last year, GUTGAA will end with a pitch contest.
- There will be more agents!
- There will be surprises!
- There is a new blog badge!
- There will be prizes!
- And there will be fun!!!!
- The month long party will start September 3rd!
- Sign ups will begin this coming Monday, July 16th!
- We will be very interactive on Twitter...because I have discovered that I LURVE Twitter so very much:) @deanabarnhart for those who want to chat it up:)
- The hashtag will be #GUTGAA.
- Spread the word!!!!
- Can't wait to see you there!
Do you have any questions? Do you just want to cheer? I'm good for both if you want to put them in the comments below:)
Oh I have a question! But I'll have to email you with it, lol. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this contest! And I have become a total twitter junkie, too. 140 characters is always easier to write than a blog post.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again on the agent!
Sound exciting! Maybe this will be the push I need to get on Twitter.
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many great things about last year's blog hop. I'm looking forward to GUTGAA 2012! Thanks for all the hard work you put into this!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check this out!
ReplyDeleteI love lists, too. My May and June (and now first half of July) have been so crazy that I haven't updated my white board list--still has April's stuff on it. I'm going to fix that this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes Cas, email away:)
ReplyDeletePhil, you are so right!!!
Andrea, I hope you get on it. I love it:)
I'm so happy you all are excited! It's going to be so much fun!
sa-WEET! I have to go check it all out! And I'm totally a list maker too! Keeps me sane!
ReplyDeleteYay! So excited!
ReplyDeleteOh awesome! That was so much fun last year! I'm in!! I saw your interview on Cupid's. So great!! I was wondering when your story would be posted there.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the congrats from Xmas in July. I was pretty stoked for the honorable mention, so I appreciate that :D
New follower here... came by to say thanks for the follow! And you have a fabulous blog... and this fest sounds fantastic... ;)
ReplyDeleteOooh this sounds GREAT!
ReplyDeleteIt's just so awesome that you want to pay the love forward by doing another GUTAA. Going to go check out the interview :-)
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteI noticed last year you went with using the comments. Any thoughts on using a LinkyList for this one?
Woot, wOOt!! I was just looking for your badge earlier today to post it on my sidebar but didn't see new one yet--guess b/c it's later this year. You still swamped in boxes? Off to check out your interview:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the contest, even though I've begun strongly leaning towards the idea of indie or e-publishing for at least some of my books. The holidays start midway through September, so hopefully things won't get too crazy with keeping up with the blogfest while observing so many back to back holidays.
ReplyDeleteI had soooo much fun last year and "met" great people. You are a true...linker, people get to know other people through you.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for paying it forward!
And, I forgot to say how much I adore lists. Lists are my friends. Really, really god friends.
ReplyDeletereally looking forward to this! will get back to you in detail this week, i've been out of town =)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous fun time!
