Michele Tune Wins First Place in Writer's Round-About Contest!

February 18th 2008 08:18

It Couldn't Have Happened to a Better Blogger!

Michele Tune is a wonderful blogger--in more ways than one. First of all, she's an excellent writer, which makes her blog a delight to read. And secondly, she's a beautiful person--friendly, caring, giving--which makes her a delight to know. She's the blogger who came forward recently and generously offered to write a guest post here at Writer's Notes to help me out due to my personal and family illness. Here's her guest post: That's What Bloggers Are For!


And the Winner is...Michele Tune!

Michele also recently entered a contest put on by Rebecca Laffar-Smith at Writer's Round-About, in which she was required to write a review of Rebecca's blog, post it to her own blog, and then submit a link to it for voting by Rebecca's readers. It was a close and anxious race, as Michele and another contestant, LaskiGal, took turns repeatedly gaining and losing the first place position. When the final results were in, Michele had won by three votes (29 to LaskiGal's 26). Congratulations to both ladies: to Michele, who won a $100 Amazon gift certificate and LaskiGal, who won a $50 one! Congratulations also go out to Melissa Donovan, who won the third place prize, a $25 Amazon gift certificate, with 25 votes! Here's Rebecca's post presenting the contest results: New Design Launch - Contest Results!


Thanks for Supporting a Great Writer and a Wonderful Person!

I'd like to thank all my readers who visited and voted for Michele's post--or Stumbled it--after I announced the contest in a note at the end of her guest post. Thanks so much for helping an excellent writer/blogger--and fantastic person--win a much-deserved prize! Michele plans to use her gift certificate to buy books to help her grow and improve as a writer. I'm sure it will be an adventure! Happy shopping, Michele! We're glad you have this opportunity to develop your already-considerable skills--even if we do love you just the way you are! Hope LaskiGal and Melissa will also enjoy their Amazon shopping sprees, getting whatever makes them happiest! (There were five fine entries to the contest. It's too bad everybody couldn't win!)


Thanks again, everyone!
Jeanne


P.S. Don't forget to visit Michele's blog: Writing the Cyber Highway. I'm sure you'll love reading what she has to say!

P.S.S. I know you'll enjoy Rebecca's blog, as well! So, why not drop by Writer's Round-About for a visit?

Michele,

Why wouldn't I? You deserve it! And about my generosity: I'm no more generous than you!

Enjoy those books!

Wow! What a fantastic way to announce Michele's fabulous accomplishment. It makes me wish I'd written out the results more eloquently rather than rushing them off like I did on Saturday. I'll remember to post with more flair in the future because a post like this has a beauty and majesty all its own.

Thank you for sharing the news and your support, Jeanne. Michele really does deserve these sorts of wonderful occurances and I hope she continues to have great successes into the future.

Thanks also for the link love.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Laffar-Smith

Thanks so much, Rebecca, for saying all those nice things! Your post was fine, and I often write down-to-earth, detailed, informational posts, myself. Since you needed to report the contest stats, your post was appropriate to your purpose. At times, we do enjoy penning more sentimental posts, but there's a time and place for each type, I think. For me, the memory of Michele's helpful guest post, provided when I needed the help, made me feel a touch more sentimental about her win.

Thanks for your wonderful comment, and know that I'm always happy to link to Writer's Round-About!

Take care!
Jeanne

Rebecca, you always write with beauty and majesty! Jeanne is right. You wrote an announcement post and you wrote it well.

Jeanne, I was honored to be able to pitch in and help with my guest post. I've really enjoyed your blog for quite some time now!

And, thanks to the both of you for your kind words and compliments and well wishes for my future.

You're both the best!

Smiles,
Michele
