Where Mariella Wreaks Havoc Without Worry
I Won Fifty Bucks
Filed under: random

The regulars in Deb’s blog know I won the September comments contest. Here’s a screenshot of the $50 Amazon GC:

I already have my order lined up and I went WAY over $50. Here are the books I’m considering:

Will Write for Shoes: How to Write a Chick Lit Novel - Cathy Yardley
The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition - William Strunk Jr.
Self-Editing for Fiction Writers, Second Edition: How to Edit Yourself Into Print - Renni Browne
Write Great Fiction: Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint : (Techniques and exercises for crafting dynamic characters and effective viewpoints) (Write Great Fiction) - Nancy Kress
Plot & Structure: (Techniques And Exercises For Crafting A Plot That Grips Readers From Start To Finish) (Write Great Fiction) - James Scott Bell
Fiction Writer’s Workshop - Josip Novakovich
The Art and Craft of Feature Writing: Based on The Wall Street Journal Guide - William E. Blundell

All in all, the cost of everything comes up to $76.32. That’s STILL minus the shipping fees (I’m not situated in the US). My order might get a grand total of $100 if I’m not careful and I’m not sure I can afford $100 right now (well, $50 since Deb’s already given me the other $50). I’m thinking of removing “Fiction Writer’s Workshop” from the list. Anybody could recommend me better reads?

    Awwwww, making me jealous on that gift certificate. :(

    LOL.

    Anyway, I just wanted to leave a comment saying that I really like this template. It’s very nice. And the text isn’t so big I could read it without my glasses on! :)
