It’s the end of January already?
January 31st, 2006

Holy hell! It’s the last day of January and not only is that payday (woohoo!! only get paid once a month), but it means a month of 2006 is already over. How did that happen?
It seems that we spend a lot of time wishing away the day. I know I do… can’t wait for the weekends! But then, like now, suddenly 31 days are gone.
What that means is that I have 3 1/2 months to get my shit together for RT. :blink_tb:
I’m going to start making lists of what I have, what I need to get, and how I can afford it. Geez Louise! It seems like yesterday that I signed up to stay at the haunted beach house (I’ll let you know if it was true or not) in August. I remember thinking, I’ve got like 9 months until the convention! :shock_tb:
Well, here I am! And I don’t have that much time. Must review finances and come up plan for promo items.
Here’s what I’m thinking - all you readers out there, please let me know what you like to get as goodies.
- Sampler CD - a chapter or two from my current works, and those coming soon
- Pens - with my name and webby
- Bookmarks - paper and thong (making those myself)
- Prizes - I have a gift basket I’m doing with my partner in Vixen Virgins, Robin Danner. She’s doing a vixen basket and I’m doing a virgin basket (no snickering). I’ve got lots of little goodies I’ve collected that I may use to make a second basket
- Tea bags - I’ve gotten a donation of 1000 tea bags (Celestial Seasonings) for the muses that we’re going to put in the goodie room with a sticker on them.
Also, I need to buy stuff to decorate my table at the Book Fair. Luckily I have a friend who is a fashion maven to help me make the most of my space. Think purple and spurs. :wink1_tb:
I’m starting to get nervous! I “speak” to readers and others all the time online, but not in real life. I hope I don’t make a fool of myself. _tb:
I guess I’ve rambled enough today, eh? Let me know what you think of giveaways, k?

  1. I love giveaways!!! But unfortunately I won’t be at RT.
    The book thongs are so neat(my opinion); tea bags and pens with name, etc. are neat. It sounds exciting to be
    doing this. Good luck. Gift baskets would always be welcome for anyone, I’m sure.


  2. I’m sorry you won’t make it to RT, Robyn. I love book thongs too (got the “how to make ‘em” instructions from another author). :smile1_tb:
