Free Stuff Friday

*
Happy Friday! I had such fun with our last give away - I'm going to do another one. In fact, be sure to check my Friday posts because I will be doing either a Free Stuff Friday or a Funny Friday every week. You'll get a laugh or a chance to win something - either way, you leave happy (I hope).
*

Today's give away is the great book: 20 Master Plots and how to build them by Ronald B. Tobias. This is a brand new book.



The title 20 Master Plots made me think of plots.


Plots made me think of cemeteries


Cemeteries made me think of headstones.


So - to enter : you must leave a comment stating what you would like written on your headstone.

You do not have to be a follower for this week's contest....so any lurkers are invited to play
*
I will put all the comment-ors names in a hat and draw a winner at random.
*
Winner announced next week.

Good luck and have a great weekend.

She thought a lot.
Maybe too much.
(no, just kidding)

Lived Her Life with Passion and Love.
Thankful for Her Home on Earth,
Thankful to Be Home in Heaven

Tess said...

Lovely!

Lady Glamis: I especially like 'lost and gave' - so true for all of us (we hope)

Jennifer Shirk - welcome! I haven't tried that orzo recipe yet...but will :) In the end, it is the wife and mother that means so much.

Wendy: you crack me up! I love the concept of being thankful for this earthly home.

I'll add my own:

Tess Hilmo. Wife and Mother. Assumed and found the best in others.

Now if you are not feeling serious -- it's fine to be silly. Or just leave your name. This drawing is random and not judged.

Tess!!!!!! I need that book! I suck at plot -- you know it's true!

(ps--I thought you'd want to know, my verification word for my last post was "peducks" which seems sadly appropriate for me.)

B.J. Anderson said...

This is fun in a creepy kind of way, lol. :) I could really use that book though!

Erm..I don't want to write my gravestone, but I do want to pop in and say that I'm really glad that you don't own a red calvin klein jumpsuit. I think it was the calvin klein detail that really made us think it was real. I think blogger needs to add a sarcasm button in their comments section.

Have a great weekend!

Amy Allgeyer Cook said...

Ok--I got one. Do I get extra credit for invoking the subject of the book? :) xo

Here I lie,
and here I'll stay.
'Til a vampire plotline
takes me away.

Tess said...

Why are people creeped out by this? That is so interesting to me! Oh well, if you leave a comment of any kind, I'll still include your name in the drawing.

Amy - extra credit - sure! And, your entry intrigues me on your WIP!

BJ- no regrets. perfect.

Lisa and Laura - it's the calvin klein detail that makes it good writing ;)

Get off the grass and keep the line moving. ;-)

I know the contest is over, but I was out of touch with the blogsphere most of last week and this weekend. It's early, the coffee hasn't kicked in, but the best I can come up with is . . .

What do you mean I need a query letter to get in?

Liana Brooks said...

I missed the contest, but I love the headlines... plotlines... um... whatever these things are called.

I just never intend to have a headstone. If I can't have immortality, I want burial at sea. Maybe we can tattoo something on a shark's belly?

Sweet to the last?

Liana Brooks said...

P.S. The verification word was "Di Old"

Hmmm....
