Leesa's Stories: Handle With Care

I have been reading a number of "Book Club" blogs lately. They make me feel smarter.

Book Club Girl has ten copies of Jodi Picoult's next bestseller, Handle with Care to give away. The ten copies will be given out by a random drawing.

Enter to win by:
1) posting a comment here about why you love Jodi Picoult
2) Get two entries by commenting AND posting about this contest on another blog
3) Get three entries by commenting, posting on another blog AND tweeting about the contest. Follow her on Twitter, so she can follow you!

Ideally, include links to your post and/or tweet on the initial comment.

Ten winners will be chosen from all entries received by midnight March 5th (given away by Book Club Girl, not me)! Good luck, and follow the links to comment, post, twitter, whatever!

About Leesa

Leesa
I started blogging to improve my writing; I really did. Painters don't start with masterpieces – they start on scraps of paper, and even when planning a great work, they do many other drawings in preparation. I think writing is the same. You just don't start and finish a novel by merrily typing into the computer; you experiment. Blogging is sort of like a writer's doodling. So this is my scratch pad of sorts. This is less than scraps of paper actually, just 1s and 0s on your computer screen.

Notes on this Blog

Some random notes about this blog:

1. Schedule. I started writing this blog in 1995, and over the past few years, I have tried to write every workday. Then in the summer of 2008, I quit writing for a month or so. Now I try writing three times per week. The quality waxes and wanes. Sorry about that.

2. Leesa's Mailbag. I am trying a new weekly/monthly/semi-annual blog entry called "Leesa's Mailbag". Over the last few years, people have emailed me with questions, and I have answered them on an individual basis. Now, I think I will answer them on a blog entry. Perhaps Friday. Not sure I will get enough questions to do this often, but I will try to answer questions. Sort of an Ann Landers with attitude. Just write to the email address below.

3. My Stories. Yeah, I have a few erotic stories here. I know, they are not all that good, but they were fun to write. Don't read them if this offends you (and they represent less than 1% of the content here). These stories have elements of truth and fantasy, some more true than others. Complain about something that is a bit more substantive if you must complain. I have lots of faults.

4. Layout. My layout is clean and simple. You can tell me it is boring, and you would be right. I just don't want pink flowers and weird colors to get in the way of my words. I have customized my drop-down menus under "Quick Links" and "Blog Roll" so I had to use a little HTML.

Finally, there are loads of better bloggers here. If you like what you read, thanks. If you don't, thanks for dropping by (and I mean this). A few people who comment on my work add immensely to the experience.

Updated Regularly Updated Semi-Regularly Blogs That May Be Dead Blogs I'm Trying Out Notes: Check out all of these blogs that impress me, interest me, or challenge me for bloggers who are more talented than I. I try and cull these from time to time. Please let me know if a blog URL has gone "bad." Worse than cleaning the 'fridge out sometimes.
