It’s a rainy day… time for some “Chicken Soup”!
There might not be anything more thrilling for a writer than seeing your name in print. For a load of awkward introverts, us writing types get strangely attached to our one claim to fame – our names and our original works, right there for the world to see.
It’s even better when a couple of writing buddies get published in the same book, as happened with this one: both Sam and I were published in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Here Comes the Bride – and both of us got a box of books from Simon and Schuster on the same day!
Since I have 10 books now sitting in my living room, and I really, really need you all to read my story and tell me that you love it, I’m giving away a book on Tuesday, May 8th. Between now and Tuesday, enter a comment telling me your favorite part about weddings (either as a wedding party member, guest, bride, groom, wedding crasher…) and I’ll pick a commenter at random and send you a book.
For an additional entry, you can like my facebook page here, and leave an additional comment telling me you did so, and for another entry, you can share this with your friends and (of course) tell me you did so.
So – three chances for this fun little book. Great deal, right? I know I’m biased, but all the stories I’ve read so far have been very sweet and funny and the perfect thing for a quick mid-afternoon coffee break or an “I promise it will be worth it, don’t lose your mind” gift for a bride-to-be. (Of course, I’ve only read mine and Sam’s… just kidding!)
Enter away! Tell your friends! Oh, and I’ll start – my favorite part about our wedding was our rehearsal dinner – it was meaningful and encouraging and everything I had dreamed of when we first got engaged. My favorite part about other people’s weddings? Everything. I admit it, I love weddings. I cry when the bride walks down the aisle, I love being a bridesmaid (and I am a very good one, if I dare say so myself) I love pinning on boutonnieres and dancing and woo-ing at the “you may kiss the bride” part. It’s all wonderful.
Leave comments and tell your friends to win a book! Winner will be chosen Tuesday, May 8th, probably at some point past my bedtime, if I’m honest.
