workshop wednesday - contests
On April 17th, Guide comes out. To celebrate I'm going to run a contest. Before I decide what, though, I'm hoping ya'll will help me. My last contest was a big success and I wound up with 100+ comments.
Your part is simple. What's your favorite kind? Book giveaway? Jewelry? Gift certificates? Do you prefer a random drawing, a meme, or to answer questions? Help me out in comments please, so I know what you like best. I'm kind of a noob at this.

Random drawing, yes. I usually try to have readers do something silly or funny to be entered.
I put up a picture on my blog. To enter the contest, you come up with a caption for it. Funny is the goal, but any caption will do. Just putting a caption in comments enters you in the contest. If you BLOG about my contest, you get entered a second time. It's a random drawing, and I'll put all the names in a bowl and have my seven year old son draw the winner.
People who do blog about the contest will have a small advantage, but I won't have people entering ten or twenty times.
Prize is a $50 Amazon gift certificate and a free copy of Guide.
Whatcha think?
Verra clever, lass, VERRA clever!
And thank you for keeping the caption part of the contest a random drawing. I am SOOOO gawd-awful at those things! GAK!
I'm thinking I'll start it on April 10th and run it for a whole week until the April 17th release date to give people plenty of time to get their caption done and/or blog about it, so they can enter again. It should be said, even if somebody has 10 blogs and they put the contest on all 10, they only get 1 extra entry, hehe.
To that end I guarantee the picture I choose will have a monkey in it somewhere. I love monkeys.
(The Amazon cert is icing on the cake, but I'd enter just for the book.)
Caption idea sounds great...
I like the caption idea, too.
Not that you wanna tattoo the winner on your ass...do you?
And I can write a caption, sure I can.
I'm so glad everyone likes this idea. In less than a week I'll kick things off. Now I just need to find the perfect monkey picture...
Maybe people have forgotten the contest by the time they finish the book.
I'd offer gift certificates and stuff, but I like to be unique. Maybe it's too much to ask.
