The results are in! My hubby was kind enough to do the honors and draw a name the old-fashioned way...from a hat. The winner of the "Making the Write Connections" survey is:
Teresa Richardson
Congrats, Teresa! Please use the link here to choose the handmade "Fresh As A Daisy" soap of your choice. When you contact me (jarm@me.com) I'll give you further instructions....
I want to thank everyone for your participation, and, in a way, you have all won. Your responses will help me build a better blogpost...one that will benefit every writer. If you are curious about the survey, check it out here. So, what were the results??
The majority voted for A: Mulling it over Mondays...excerpts from books on the craft of writing, for those of you who have little time to spare.
Second in the running C: Thesaurus Thursdays...a list of descriptive words and/or verbs to replace those overused "lazy" words.
A few suggested a combo of A and B(Tricks of the Trade...tips from "Elements of Style", "Writer's Inc." or other grammar guides.)
So, I will be "mulling over" my first post for Mondays. Here's where you can help. Which topics are you most interested in? Where should I begin with "Mulling it Over Mondays"? Choose one below:
A. Social Media (FaceBook, Blogging, etc)
B. Art of Writing (picture books, novels)
C. Life of a Writer (scheduling time)
D. Craft of Writing (tips and tools)
E. Market Guide info (children's book publishers, links, etc.)
Leave your choice in the comment box, and I will give you another chance to win a bar of handmade soap from "Fresh as a Daisy Soaps". Below is my "Writer's Bookshelf of Possibilities." Choose the one you would like me to focus on first in my Monday post, and I will enter your name twice in the drawing.

Vicki - I have enjoyed reading your blog posts. They are very informative and fun to read! I look forward to reading more about D. Craft of Writing - who can't use more tips and tools? Thank you for choosing my soaps as the prize for your Winner's Survey! I look forward to hearing from the winner!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daisy...I hope the posts will be helpful to you. And I'll need to find another prize if you win!;-}
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Looking forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tina! If one on my shelf interests you, let me know. Any suggestions will be appreciated...
DeleteFrom my experience and observations, the general subject that seems to get more interest and response is anything that has to do with blogging or comments. It's weird. Some of my most seemingly throwaway blog posts have been off the wall postulating and questioning about blogging topics and readers seem to love talking about it. I've seen this on other blogs as well. I guess it ties everyone who is blogging together.

I'll keep that in mind, Arlee...I'll consider that a "social media" vote! Thanks for your input...
DeleteI vote for D--Craft of Writing: Tips and Tools. From your shelf my preference would be Roy Clark's 50 Writing Tools. There are so many great nuggets in his book! I always benefit from perusing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam...it's good to know someone else has read the book and found it helpful. I'll keep that one in mind.
DeleteI am interested in B. Art of Writing. And the book I would like to peruse is Writing Tools
ReplyDeleteThanks, Teresa...and congrats on winning the handmade soap! Please e-mail me so I can give you the details...I have no way to contact you. Cheers!
DeleteCongrats to the winner!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in all of them, but since you asked for a vote, I'd say A.
Thanks, Lynda...I appreciate all the input I can get!
DeleteI don't think I can decide! They all sound wonderful. Maybe you can rotate?

Good idea, Debbie..I'll keep that in mind! There are so many good ones out there...
DeleteI have a hard time choosing from your list, but I do like Life as a Writer for Mulling. There's so much you can draw from.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in at the A to Z Road Trip and leaving a comment. Great to meet you.
I appreciate your input, Lee...I plan to pull it all together next week. It was good meeting you on the A to Z road!
