Want a Shot at a Free Copy of Around the Writer’s Block?

Posted on by rosannebane

Even if you can’t attend the Around the Writer’s Block Book Launch Party, you still have a shot at winning a free copy of AWB. All you have to do is vote for your favorite BaneOfYourResistance post!

I’ve written nearly 300 posts, so you have plenty to choose from.

While you’re figuring out which is your favorite and to give me time for party details (like stocking up on wine and soda, ordering another cake, printing score cards for the brain games, schlepping prizes and other stuff from my office to the Loft, aka Party Central, etc.), I’m taking a short break from writing blog posts.

To keep things interesting until the next new post arrives, you get to vote with a comment here identifying your personal favorite. That way we can all keep tabs on which posts are most popular.

Then send a quick email to my publicist at tarcherpublicity (at) us.penguingroup.com with AWB Giveaway in the subject line. Tell her the title of the BaneOfYourResistance post you like best. Leave your name and simple contact info and she’ll enter you in a drawing to win one of five free copies of Around the Writer’s Block.

Now, I know how hard it is to pick a favorite anything (As Monty Python showed us in The Holy Grail: “What’s your favorite color?” “Blue! No yel—auuugggg”).

So you can enter the drawing once a week between now and September 1 with a different favorite each week.

I’m curious – will the posts that have gotten the most hits of all time be the ones you select as your favorites? Or will a newer post (which has had less time to accumulate hits) rise to the top in this vote?

The five posts with the most hits of all time are:

Personally, I’m rooting for Step Away From the Marshmallow and No One Gets Writer’s Block , which is in the number 6 spot possibly because it’s a more recent post that has had less time to accumulate hits.

Which do you think will be voted most popular?

    I keep thinking about the full mystery novel that popped into my head the day after I read that post, and I still haven’t written down a single word. It’s all still there, just a handful of related images. Fantastic tool.

    Do we need to email Tarcher for each entry?

    1. Hi Joel,
      Since my publicist at Tarcher so kindly offered to handle the details of the drawing, yes, you do need to email Tarcher again so they will enter your name a second time.
