Celebrate With Me!
I’ve had so much to be thankful for in the last month. An overwhelming amount, actually. Four books sold and, as if that’s not enough, other good things have happened in the part of my life I don’t talk about much here. Code: day job.
Now, I like to celebrate my ups (and downs) (and middles) with cupcakes. They make me happy. Especially when someone else makes them for me. I’m pretty sure Chef Kara created Kara’s Cupcakes just to serve me. To celebrate all the changes around here (including this shiny new site), I think it’s high time we have a MASSIVE CUPCAKE GIVEAWAY.
To enter:
I’m going to make it super easy.
- Just leave a comment below telling me one thing that happened to you this month that you could have celebrated with a cupcake OR
- Tweet the following: #Cupcakeme because [insert reason why you deserve/need a cupcake prize]. Be sure to include the hashtag!
- Each day this week I will randomly draw four winners using Random.org.
- If you have a minute, surf around my new site. If you find any broken links or typos, email me or note them in the comments to get an extra entry.
Prizes:
Each day this week I will randomly pick four of the below items to give away to four random winners.

So thrilled for you, Cory!

Wow, congrats to you again! Hmm, March has been a lousy month for me, but if I had to pick anything to celebrate, it’s that I wrote my very last annotation for my MFA program! That means I just have to clean up my thesis and then I’m graduating, woo hoo!

I have a suuuper sekrit reason for celebrating which will include an addition to my family….
And yay for you!

Your news has been among the best things to happen to me. My agent just moved to Bradford Literary and seeing all the good things happening for you and other Bradford clients has been so uplifting…not just because it shows how great Ms. Bradford is, but because we see that something like that can happen. That book that gets rejected the first time around can be bought up later, after another book sells. Plus we’re all living vicariously through you right now!

YAYYY Cory! You deserve every frosting-filled minute!

YAY FOR CORY! (Am hoping this is open internationally…) Hmm, what happened this month? I started an anonymous book blog and have received enORMous support from the fantastic book blogging community.

Hi Cory & Fellow Apocalpysie! Let’s see…my editor loved the latest draft of my book! It’ll go through one more pass before copyedits but the fact that she was very pleased with how I handled their notes (which were pretty major) is definitely cupcake-worthy!

I love hearing about all your great things….congrats! And yay to cupcakes! We’re having them at our wedding instead of cake because I love them so much!

The new layout of your site is awesome… as is all your news this month. As for me… there’s lots of little things: I went to the library this weekend and got a ton of awesome books out, spring is on its way, the snow is metling and I can see grass!! Haha, everyone else’s news seems way more major, but I thinks spring still deserves a cupcake or two!

Hmn…I finished another round of revisions on the manuscript that’s due in May! Also, I survived the worst sinus infection I’ve had in fifteen years: they actually treated it with anthrax medication. THAT is something to celebrate!

Um…also…congrats! And welcome to KTeen!

Don’t you think you deserve a cupcake too? I mean, YOU SOLD FOUR BOOKS!!
My good thing: I just moved to a nice apartment.
(Love the new site!)

Yay! I’m a winner–thanks!

The new site is cupcake-worthy, indeed! This month is cupcake-worthy for me because it brings me one month closer to my brother returning from Afghanistan!

I got 46 out of 50 on my Administrative Law exam at Sheridan College. Studied 10 hours and it paid off…that deserves a cupcake!

I want to celebrate that I made it through another winter. It can be very difficult, but I made it.

Got to see my hubby for the first time in 8 months! Yay!
Also…congrats again on all the good news, and I love the new site! Super fab!

Well, I turned 20 this month and found an apartment for next semester just a week ago.
I didn’t get to celebrate my birthday but I DID get to celebrate the apartment!

Gah! I’ve had this up forever, and keep forgetting to comment! Love this giveaway, dear. It’s cupakulous.
Ok, that doesn’t even sound appealing. Let’s just go with cupcake fabulous. I especially love it because you took me to Kara’s cupcakes, so now I feel a special bond with Kara. I’m so craving one of her banana cupcakes right now.
Love the new look! I’m still reeling from your major book deal, so I can only imagine how you must be feeling. I hope you did something amazing to celebrate!

Oh man, I love cupcakes! I quit my job in February (yay!) but this month I started a new job, so that’s definitely worth celebrating with a cupcake!

I finished my grading in time and started outlining my screenplay. I deserve a cupcake for that, for sure! I think I’ll go to The Cupcakery now.
