When I play soccer, I'm always reluctant to yell out that I'm open because then the other team comes and guards you. It's much better if your teammates look up and see that your open and pass you the ball without having to say anything.
It's the same thing with contests. Most contests require you to advertise, but this is like saying to your competition, come and take away my chance to score. Frankly I'd rather that no one else knew about the contest, because then I'd have a better chance to win. I know you've all thought the same thing.
Anyway there is an awesome contest going on with tons of books, signed and not, plus a forty page critique by a living and breathing agent. How awesome is that, see why I didn't want to tell you.
Go to Elana's blog for the books and Suzette and Bethany's blog for books and critique.
Please note: For those who are new to the blog, my above comments were completely sarcastic, or were they?

Ha ha ha ha! What an awesome way to announce the contests. So true, so true... LOL! :-)
I completely understand. sarcastic or not.
You wanna win but to get more chance you have to shout it from the roof top. How can you still play the game without lessening your chances of winning.
:)
Hehe, my sentiments exactly!! Great way to show us the contests Patti. Sarcastic? I think not!, my dear Patti. Or was it? Hmmmmmm =)
Hee hee, I totally agree Patti! Especially when it's a really cool contest!
You selfish girl! :) They are both great contests.
If it makes you feel any better, I already knew about the contests:D
Sarcasm with a hint of truth. I've been meaning to post about the contests as well.
It's your voice, isn't it? Refreshing!!
Been missing you!
