New Blog Look and Newsletter Contest Winner

The blog has a new look. Thanks so much to Brandy for helping me with adding three columns. Yep, it took a little bit of my Saturday writing time, but I think it worth it. Laurie is still rambling on Thursday's. Watch for her contest each month. The books, the covers, the authors...Nice.

If you didn't sign up for the Newsletter contest, no worries, there'll be another so go ahead and sign up now. :)

The winner for this month's VLN is, gw12cats03. Major congrats!! You are the first ever winner for VLN. Email me your information at vickilanewrites@yahoo.com. In the subject line please put VLN winner.

Going forward, winners of any of our contest, must notify us with their information within a week or a new winner will be chosen. Sorry, but it's hard to keep up with who won and if the prize has been sent otherwise.

Thanks everyone who left comments with what you like to see in a newsletter. And the first quarterly VLN will be out towards the end of March. Yep, a contest will be in there just for those who are signed up.

Hope you're having a great weekend.

WW's and PD's,
Vicki and Laurie

TGIF - Fun - Newsletter

Friday. The last day of the week for the day job. The one I thought would never get here this week has finally arrived. Woot!!

Remember to sign up for the newsletter on the sidebar. Tomorrow is the drawing for the 'secret prize'.

So, for all us whose brains are tired, or rambles are brewing, but not yet concocted, here's a Friday Fun Quiz. I took it twice, changed one answer and here's what both said:

What's Your Medieval Profession?

You Are a Playwright

You are a highly literate wordsmith. You love both reading and writing. You are also a natural storyteller. You can turn a mediocre anecdote into a riveting tale. You find people and all aspects of life fascinating. No topic is off limits for you. In modern times, you would make a good filmmaker or novelist.

What's Your Medieval Profession?

You Are a Jester

You are a natural entertainer. You can get a laugh from the toughest of crowds. You make friends very easily. You tend to know a lot of popular, rich, and powerful people. You are also good at playing politics. You know how to get along with many factions without upsetting anyone. In modern times, you would make a good actor or world leader.

Yep, I'm a writer, but a world leader...hmmm...I'm liking that one. And really doesn't acting and world leading go hand in hand. :)

Okay, Now it's your turn. Take the quiz (twice if you're like me), come back and tell us what your medieval profession is.
