Feelin' Lucky Giveaway Hop

Thank you to  I Smell Sheep and Fictional Candy for hosting this awesome hop!

Who wants a little pot of gold? I'm giving away a $10 GC for books! :) Woot! Keep reading for details.

&

If that's not enough, I'm over at LiteralAddiction today with a double giveaway. Don't miss their awesome interview. :)



Fictional Candy




Okay, we're supposed to hop about St. Patrick's day, but I'm not Irish--much--and honestly, it's never been a holiday that I think much about...no offense Patty fans. So, why hop with you fine people...well, because I think it's the festive nature! :)

I'm doing it a little different and I hope you'll take the time to listen to this song and the message. I want this line to stand out in your minds while you're watching it: "Where would I be if I didn't search for that rainbow, searching for the pot of gold?"






What hit me while watching this video was that line. This is why...Where would I be if I'd not dreamed of something more? Well...I'd be hiding that first novel in the closet. I know so many writers that do the same and stories weren't meant to be hid. They are created for sharing. So, this is my hope....that you'll all go chase that pot of gold.

Everyone should have a dream. Even if it's to design the perfect bidet. :) I dare you to dream and now I dare you to share your dream...no matter how silly.
