Book giveaway winner | Cathy C. Hall Writes

Obviously, Libby (The Tiny Terror) can’t be bothered with doing much of anything on this lovely spring day. But I have been taxing my brain with Nina Amir’s (who’s currently on a WOW! tour) book, The Author Training Manual.

Goodness, it’s a thorough–and thoroughly thought-provoking–book on writing! With training exercises! (And you can win it!) But I’ll tell you all about the book when she stops here in June. For now, I’ll just pass you along to The Muffin, where I discuss a specific thought-provoking tidbit, inspired from my recent reading.

To wit: your willingness to do what it takes to make your writing a success. But you must also know what your idea of writing success is.

I know. It’s pretty heavy thinking material for such a lovely spring day. Maybe you should read something light and funny before tackling this mind-bender. Something like Susan Nees‘ Missy’s Super Duper Royal Deluxe Picture Day.

If you’re Tina M. Cho, you get to read this winning book, courtesy of me. For the rest of you, well…you’re on your own to find Susan’s books. But believe me, they’re totally worth it.

And please, don’t be a Lazy Libby. Find what you’re willing to do, writing-wise. Because that’s totally worth it, too.

When I come across books like Frances Caballo’s Avoid Social Media Time Suck, I want to give a copy to every single person who commented. It’s the kind of book that you’ll go to time and time again…well, that’s what a reference book is, right?

And then when I read Trisha Slay’s review of the book–and Trisha actually has a (very delightful) novel called Not So Long Ago, Not So Far Away–and how she’s found the book so useful, I just really, really wished I could send you all a copy of the book.

Alas, there can be only one winner of this copy. But you can still be a winner, managing your time. Get Avoid Social Media Time Suck–and take the time to read it.

(Well, dang. That was the perfect ending to a lovely blog post. Except I forgot to name the winner. It’s LISA! I don’t know how many times Lisa has tried to win a book here–and not won. So don’t be jealous; just get your own book. See? Now everybody’s happy.)
